Music from the Glen

Music from the Glen is a weekly program of traditional music from the British Isles and beyond. The program has been running for almost 30 years, and focuses on folk music of a traditional bent from the British Isles and elsewhere that these traditions have spread.

We feature traditional music in all forms: new releases of traditional songs and tunes, new compositions in traditional style, classic traditional material from the folk revival onward, and even the occasional archival recording.

We frequently play the music of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and sometimes venture to Australia, Brittany and Scandinavia. We often feature musicians from the rich Canadian traditional music scene — including players from Cape Breton, the Ottawa Valley, Newfoundland, and Quebec — as well as the music of the American North-East.
