That’s a surprise although he has professed deep and eternal love for certain English folk music before.

Shame he doesn’t reflect this proportionally in the output of the radio station he ‘controls’.

lost me at the first track obviously.

Thought he might have, G. I read in the interview that Alan is on the Board of the EFDSS*, Global. He said that he first heard the Sam Lee song accompanied by nightingales at Kings Place, London as part of a two and a half hour concert. He said that the reason he chose Las Cafeteras was they were the best thing he saw at WOMAD 2017. I hadn't heard the Sam Carter track before but loved it and he said he'd been listening to him for some time...likewise why he liked Fabian Holland. I always enjoy a bit of Vent Du Nord and that's a particularly good one, I thought.

There is a long list of Alan's choices on spotify which includes Shirley and Dolly and the Watersons apparently, but I haven't uncovered it yet at https://open.spotify.com/user/songlinesmagazine
He seems to suggest in the article that R3 sprinkles** folk and world music throughout the schedules.

*The English Dance and Folk Song Society
** Needs to go a bit heavier on the sprinkling perhaps
