Hi folks, as always I start the year with a retrospective. Once again, 2024 was a great year for new releases of traditional music. Today we're looking back at the music we first shared together over the last year.
It is always tough to fit in all the releases I want to feature and several good records were left behind. But as usual, I have chosen Gold Star Releases ⭐ and Honourable Mentions 👈 that are my absolute top picks. In my view all the albums below reflect the best traditional music of 2024.
