About Folk radio
Folk music here covers the acoustic, song-led traditions of the British Isles, Ireland, North America, Latin America, and the wider singer-songwriter world that grew out of them — alongside instrument-led traditional music from across the globe. Some stations focus tightly on one tradition (Celtic, Anglo-American old-time, Scandinavian, Andean), while others stitch together a broader picture of contemporary acoustic music: roots, Americana, indie folk, and the touring festival circuit. Live recordings and session captures are a regular feature, so even when you don't recognise the artist, you'll often hear genuine in-room performances rather than studio polish.
