LFC on the air and News of our Festival!
DId I just say ON THE AIR???: That's right - those nice people at Leith FM have asked us to do a regular show featuring 'our kind of music'. What does that mean? Well, traditional, modern, mostly acoustic, fiddles, guitars, pipes, whistles, singers, dancers (on the radio...) and whatever else we come up with from the massive LFC CD library.
Now, more news at LFC: we're absolutely delighted to announce the first MUSIC ROUTES , a week long celebration of the best acoustic and roots music from around the world hosted by Leith Folk Club from 27 May to 3 June. You can find full details by clicking HERE.
