Thread Name: BBC - Commitment to folk music??
Subject: RE: BBC - Commitment to folk music??
BBC Radio Scotland does have much more going on in terms of traditional and folk music than the rest of BBC radio combined. And I do have to suppress a wry smile whenever I read that Radio 2 is the home of folk music (1 hour per week).

While we're on the subject - look out (for those of you with Digital DELDMARTINTEST) for BBC 4 - I think it's the next 2 Fridays - they'll be featuring bits from this year's Celtic Connections in Glasgow...

I think there'll be a selection from EddiReader, Skyedance, Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker, probably Altan, maybe some Didier Squiban and some other stuff.. Check the listings...

Cheers
