BBC Radio 2 is launching a folk, roots and acoustic music website. The opeinig date is 23 May--today--but it doesn't seem to be up and running yet (10.20 GMT). Ah, just spotted: it will be "marked by a special live webcast of the Mike Harding Show from York", which will start at 8 o'clock tonight (20.00 GMT). Ah well, I'll just have to wait till tomorrow morning!

Had a look at this; it's good. Like the virtual session.

In the hope that there may be some new converts, I again highly recommend Frank Hennessy's Celtic Heartbeat on BBC Radio Wales. Frank's tastes are broad and interesting - see his recent playlists -
