Hi Folks,
The March 2008 edition of Worlds of Trad Internet radio is now uploaded,
will be on-line until Wednesday April 9th, and features three hours of the very
best in traditional folk, ethnic, world, roots, blues, old time country and
early jazz; in fact traditional music from absolutely everywhere
This month we’ve an extensive celebration of the centenary of folklorist AL
(Bert) Lloyd, particularly remembering those splendid Lps which he was
responsible for bringing out on the Topic label Fielding for the Topic
revivalists are Bob Davenport, The Celebrated Working Man's Band, Roy Harris,
Frankie Armstrong, Louis Killen and Ewan MacColl, whilst Joe Heaney, Paddy
Tunney, Jeannie Robertson, Fred Jordan, Willie Scott, Lizzie Higgins, Hedy West,
Willie Clancy and Michael Gorman are batting for the tradition Out on the
stumps, there’s several tracks from Topic’s International series and we‘ve a few
songs from Bert himself There‘s also an excerpt from The Folk Music Virtuoso,
and a song and a dance from the legendary Eels Foot broadcast
Elsewhere in the programme we remember that 2008 is the centenary of those
wonderful Joseph Taylor phonograph records; Mercy Dee Walton and Lil McKlintock
complain they can’t keep up the payments; the Hokum Boys complain about the
neighbours; there’s several arguments about lazy people from Carter and Young,
Cephas and Wiggins, Seán 'ac Donncha, The Mississippi Sheiks and Con Cassidy And
Andy Cohen complains he’s got no money Come and join the clan
Also, Vera Hall Ward, Carl Story, Arthur Howard, The Bacup Nutters and the
Monty Sunshine Quartet remind us it’s Easter, and Louis Armstrong and Chris
Droney each play a tune for St Patrick’s Day
Before that though, a couple of words from our sponsor (me).
First of all, I’ve been emailed to say that my spoken intros aren’t as loud
as they could be I know about the problem and basically it’s to do with the fact
that Live365 (the station host) equalises the audio tracks when they’re uploaded
This month I’ve set the intros a bit higher So if anyone is still having
problems with the sound levels, please let me know, and tell me which bits
you‘re having bother with
Secondly, after eighteen months of cruising in the doldrums, Worlds of Trad
station stats have taken a sudden and dramatic upturn Total listening hours have
almost doubled in the last couple of months, and more people are logging on and
they’re staying on for longer So many heartfelts to everyone who’s made it
happen There’s several excellent stations on Live365, which showcase specific
aspects of traditional music But as far as I know and believe, Worlds of Trad is
unique It is the only station, on or off the Internet, which samples the grass
roots traditional music of all the world’s peoples, with no concessions to fads,
trends or commercial pressures Keep listening and keep spreading the word

The music’s great, listening is free and I'm glad to receive requests
As always, this e-mail is being sent to everyone in my address book If
you’d rather not be disturbed, send an e-mail to
Fredlive365_at_aolcom, with the words DELETE
ME in the subject heading, and you will be troubled no more
Happy listening, and all that stuff,
