Folk musicians in the U.K. have a much more liberal outlook on arrangements than we in the US. They have a curious nature and enjoy shaking things up a bit, while we Americans tend to view traditional music with more reverance, staying close to traditional presentations of the songs & tunes.

We’ll hear The Young Tradition, The Furrow Collective, Fairport Convention and many more. New twists on traditions … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
