Hosting Folk Plus on Saturday 14 November

Just to let you know again that I'll be hosting Folk Plus at 11am-1pm (that's 4pm for European online listeners) on Saturday 14 November while regular host Angie Page is off.

I'll be playing two hours of Irish folk music featuriung De Danann, Paul Brady, The Bothy Band, Altan, Dolores Keane, Mick Moloney and many more.

As usual you can listen on 90,5FM in the Catskills, the upper Delaware River valley and north east Pennsylvania or online around the world at WJFF. You'll find the playlist here after the show.

Irish music on Folk Plus

I'll be sitting in for Angie Page on Folk Plus on WJFF next Saturday 14 November at 11am EST.

The whole two hour show will be devoted to Irish music - mainly, but not exclusively, traditional Irish music and will feature Paul Brady, De Dannan, Mary Coughlan, The Bothy Band, Patrick Street, Eileen Ivers, Mick Maloney, Lunasa, Mary Black, Solas, and many more.

Listen live at http://wjffradio.org (click top right) or listen later on the WJFF archive.

And don't forget The BritMix is back soon - 9pm Thursday 10 December on WJFF.

I hope you'll join me on Folk Plus and also on the returning BritMix.

The BritMix is coming back!

Yes - The BritMix is coming back. Yippee!!

I'm delighted to tell you that The BritMix will be back on WJFF (90.5FM in the Catskills of New York and in north east Pennsylvania) on Thursday 10 December at 9pm.

Been a few hurdles to cross to get there, but I look forward to your company again  - right after Ramble Tamble with John Gordon.

And for those BritMix listeners not able to listen live at that time - shows will, of course, be archived online for two weeks. Check back here for the link to take you to archived shows.

Of course - the Christmas holiday will be coming up when The BritMix returns... So if you have any thoughts about tracks to include over the holiday season, especially new indie holiday tracks, please let me know.

There'll be more news as 10 December approaches...

BritMix hiatus

The BritMix is off the air for a little while as the station and I work out a new time slot for the show. The show will be back in the fall. In the meantime if you have any thoughts about British music old or new that I should be playing on the show, email me. If I agree - I'll play it. If not...

And please keep listening to the many other great music shows on WJFF.
