Who else is keeping traditional music alive on any general public media weekly?

[@nskimharris]

Alex is the best

I just learned so much (and love this stuff-- so ethereal and cool). I think I understand more now what Caoimhin O Raghallaigh is doing these days. And wouldn't it be great to hear the amazing Alex Hargreaves and C O' R on the same stage, thinking with Thomas Bartlett. anyhoo thanks Alex this is such yummy good stuff

“Take care of that soul buddy”-Chris

[@RikardPeterson]

Isn't there a miss-spelling here? I don't know the tune, but I'd expected it to be called "forskarlen" (roughly meaning "the man of the river" in Swedish).
Well played, though.

[@peteb1206]

You are onto something there Rikard... according to Google Translate, forskalen means "research integers" LOL

[@RadioHeartland]

Good call - we got the music credits secondhand, and we were having trouble finding that one. Now we know why!

In norwegian it's fossekallen

[@124retlksncvlifvlxiu]

Can you spell the swedish fiddle tune correspondents name?

[@brittfiddle]

Lena Jonsson!

Vegans may wish to commence at 2:44 to avoid horrid goat and mutton references! ;)
