For your mid-month continuing lock-in delectation, I've put together two programmes first heard over the interweb in April and May 2006 during Podwireless’s earlier incarnation as fRoots Radio, associated with fRoots magazine (RIP). You'll notice how many more major ‘world music’ (as we still called it then) releases there still were 15 years ago, before that all fell off a cliff. The 2008 world economic recession gave the coup de grâce to what had already begun with travel restrictions after events in Manhattan in September 2001 and a record industry battered by digital. All this was before the contemporary era of artist self-production and Bandcamp distribution really took off, greatly increasing releases by UK folk artists.

Some of the label web links that were given back then no longer work – the labels no longer exist. Even if they do, you may find that the CDs are out of catalogue. In those cases your first stop to track down a copy might be Discogs.
