New Folk Radio UK Mix – Weaving the Land

by Alex 7 February 2011 Mixes

Weaving the Land is the first in a new series of mixes from Folk Radio UK. The mixes explore traditional music and its connection to the land. Whether it is recalling memories of it or the longing for return to the homeland. The first mix opens to Irish poet Seamus Heaney and features Liam O’flynn, Kathryn Tickell, Kris Drever, Dick Gaughan and more.

New Mix: AfroCeltism

by Alex 5 November 2010 Mixes

With the release of the Afro Celt Soundsytem’s retrospective double album “Capture”, it seemed like a good time to celebrate their music and influences in another great guest mix.

Lost in the Meadow Mix

by Alex 19 October 2010 Mixes

It’s been a while since I sat down and did a mix. This mix was inspired by music that I listen to when I’m either out walking across woods and fields or working outside during the winter.

Simon Emmerson Exclusive Mix

by Simon Emmerson 11 October 2010 Mixes

This a strictly deep Dorset mix from the Lush record label and The Sound Approach bird-recording collective. An exclusive by Simon Emmerson for Folk Radio UK!

Rain on Moss – New Mix

by Alex 29 April 2010 Mixes

This mix began with an experimental piece by Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh. I never quite know where a mix will go and it pretty much depends on my mood and what is influencing me at the time. All of it was done late at night, in those quiet small hours.

Lail Arad Mix

by Alex 3 April 2010 Mixes

We recently interviewed Lail Arad and took the opportunity of asking her to do a mix. The result was the Mango Mix, it beats the mix she did for Q Magazine hands down!

New guest Mix by Arran Arctic

by Alex 23 March 2010 Mixes

Yes folks we have a new guest mix, this time from Arran Arctic who can be heard on our Frukie stream. So a bit about this mysterious character:

New mix – The Long Walk

by Alex 24 February 2010 Mixes

Listen to our latest mix. Inspired by memories of a journey I took when I was 17 years old which I was reminded of recently. The mix includes new artists to the Frukie stream: Arran Arctic, Valgeir Sigurðsson, Allysen Callery, Cherbourg, The Cinematic Orchestra and more.

New – The Village Folkie Mix

by Alex 15 February 2010 Mixes

A new mix with a Celtic Roots theme this week! Plenty of my favourites in here which I’m sure many of you are familiar with. It goes without saying there are plenty more for future mixes. Treat this as a warm up. Enjoy.

New Frukie Mix – Endure

by Alex 12 February 2010 Mixes

Another new Frukie mix is out. Endure was inspired by Poet and Songwriter Gil Scott-Heron which got me thinking about Vic Chesnutt who passed away over Christmas. The mix is like a journey…there are both joyous and contemplative moments…and a couple of mad ones! Enjoy
