Saturday’s ARGYLLCOUNTRYFOLK Programme  is not a million miles away from Thursday’s programme “All Things Mod –The Saga Continues”.

Traditional Scottish Music has always been very popular with listeners of Dunoon Community Radio hence the success of the weekly Thursday programmes which features Gaelic traditional song, music and the spoken word with popular presenters Mary, Jenifer and Frlly.

Frlly now takes us to the traditional music and song of Scottish Folk Music from long before the Folk Revival of the sixties to the present day folk with the emerging 21^st century, traditional and forward looking folk music.

From Classic folk from a time when you called it a vinyl record to the latest artist from the yearly Folk Awards  and the Scottish Traditional Music Awards to the latest  in new releases  and  re-issues  from birnhamCD with weekly reviews of the best sellers from All Celtic Music .

Frlly will also keep you informed not only of local concerts and folk events but what’s happening  across the “Watter” including the  famous”Live at the Star Club”  in Glasgow
