September 10th 2008 will go down as a date of enormous import. There I was, deep in the Worlds of Trad bunker, putting the finishing touches to a station upload of such earth shattering proportions that I feared the earth would be shattered to its very proportions. Well, ok, it wasn't that drastic. Even so I heaved a great sigh of relief when the Big Bang Experiment, which was at that very moment starting up in what felt like a parallel universe, went off with out a hitch, and we weren't all sucked into the dreaded black hole.

Just in case the worst happened when they turned that old particle accelerator on, I loaded the escape craft with a few songs and a tune about cheap drink, courtesy of Elizabeth Cronin, Martin Bennett's Old Green River Band, The Allen Brothers and a bunch of good old guys from Albania. I also laid on stacks of red hot save-your-soul-gospelling from Blind Willie Johnson, Mother McCollum, The Deep South Boys, The Reverend Alex Bradford with The Abyssinian Baptist Choir, The Old Southern Sacred Singers and the greatest holy rolling barrelhouser of the them all; Sister Arizona Dranes. On top of that lot, Bunk Johnson and Woody Guthrie are here to remind us that not all disasters are man made.

To make sure the music tradition will be safe for future generations, I've reserved a few seats for a bundle of young champions from various parts of Britain and Ireland; Orlaith McAuliffe, Oisín and Conal Hernon, Mark Bazeley, Jason Rice, and Swingin' Fiddles bring us the best that London, The Aran Isles, Dartmoor and Shetland have to offer. And there's a song from Tommie Kearns to remind us that there's still a few of the old time traditional singers left on the planet.

There's a bundle of new releases from Cló Iar Chonnachta; Paddy Tunney, John Doherty and Joe Heaney tell of the earnest suitor who ends up getting twisted – in more ways than one; Bessie Smith and Martin, Bogan and Armstong are on hand to warn you yet again about smoking those awful substances! On top of that, there's a raving version of Sally Goodin from Virginia Williams. That bow hand of hers is something else!

All that plus a Scots walkabout from Norman Kennedy, Heather Heywood, Jeannie Robertson and Donald and Isaac Higgins, to say nothing of the usual round up of ethnic tunes from around the world.
The complete playlist is below, will be on-line until Wednesday October 10th, and features a minimum of three hours of the very best in traditional folk, Irish, ethnic, world, roots, blues, old time country and early jazz; in fact traditional music from absolutely everywhere.

To hear the programme, visit Worlds of Trad , and click on the yellow speaker button. If you haven't logged on you'll need to follow the onscreen instructions to download the station player. Then wait a moment until the ads clear, press the yellow PLAY button and the station will be on the air. Then if you press the green button to the right, you can set Worlds of Trad as a preset. That will save you having to search the next time you listen in.

As always we go round at the speed of light on a 24/7 continuous loop. So you can pick the show up at any time and hear it right through. The music is great, listening is free and I'm always glad to receive requests.

Worlds of Trad, the one corner of the universe where you'll never be stuck in a black hole.
