This programme features a wide selection of folk, roots, world and acoustic music. There are no strict boundaries, but we like to play music that is either traditional music (from many different traditions) or has its roots in folk music in a broad sense or a strong connection with it. So you'll hear Irish trad bands, klezmer music, English folk song, occasional blues artists, maybe some country and bluegrass, balkan dance bands, Andean flute music, Spanish bagpipe tunes, Breton dance music, Prince Edward Island fiddlers and more!.
