Here’s a small taster of what we’ve been playing on Folk Radio UK recently. Below you can find a selection of what we’ve recently added along with a recent daily playlist (just a small portion of what we play). We have reverted back to using the ‘Now Playing’ widget (found on the right hand side of our site) as it is more prominent and accessible than our last method which was on another page of our website. Just vote for your favourite track as it is playing, the more votes you cast the more likely you are to see the artists you love in our new monthly Folk Music Charts coming soon.
