There are some archived programmes but not as far as I know any of the Folky ones. I think the extra cost for permission to do iplayer type things on commercial recordings is beyond the stations immediate finances.

Will check again when in there this week.

There is also a show on Tuesdays between 1 and 2 pm presented by Sam Lee based around his Magpies Nest collective musical activities.

Shows are often randomly repeated during mornings including weekend times but not to a schedule.

Didn't mention in the original Post that the "Traditional Music Hour" is on Thursdays between 2 and 3 pm UK time. Regular presenters are myself, Reg Hall and Simon Ritchie with other occasional guests.

I'm doing this Thursday.

Some of you will know that I am one of the presenters of "The Traditional Music Hour" on Resonance 104.4FM in London, or online at www.resonancefm.com everywhere.

Well this Wednesday 25th I will be presenting, along with Ceri Wade - Agent and Promoter, a one-off show as part of Resonance's Clear Spot series from 8:00pm to 9:00pm (UK time). This will be a magazine style show highlighting what is happening the current Folk, Roots and Acoustic scene. There will be club features, music and news plus an interview with Jim Moray done before his recent King's Place show.

We'd like to see a regular magazine show of this kind covering the London scene and hopefully this will be just the first. It's conveniently timed for you to switch over after Mike Harding on Radio 2!
