Like the dish itself, the Original Folk Music Show - which was first aired on Peterhead's hospital radio Radio Eastward in 1994 - is a rich mixture of Scots, Irish, English, Welsh and Global folk music, lore and stories.
My main aim as well as entertaining people with the classics, like Runrig, Wolfstone, Steeleye Span, the Albion Band etc, is to present as much contemporary artists as possible to the airwaves, as we broadcast online, so anyone in the WORLD can hear them!
I've already featured music from two Aberdeen bands - Paddyrasta and JingBang (formerly Shindig), and will be recording interviews with Danse MacCabre, the Conglass Ceilidh Band, Clarsach player Irene Watt (also Elphinstone student); singers Graham White, Shona Donaldson, Maggie & Dick Trickey, who all hail from Aberdeen and the shire.
If you know of any folk artists - singers or musicians that could feature on the show, please let me know! If you have your own band or you sing, again, tell me! There are details on the webpage how to get in touch specifically about the show.
To listen - get online at www.aberdeenstudentradio.com Wednesdays 12noon-1pm (GMT)
For now, spot 'weel-kent' faces in Paddyrasta's video for the song Meditation which I played last week.

Very funny music video by Celtic Reggae Band Paddyrasta by award winning director Mark van Hugten

Of course, two of Paddyrasta's leading lights are our own Sara Reith - folklore researcher, and storyteller Colin Edwards! Fab video, Mark!
