    I don't really know about the Wolfe Tones and RTE but radio definitely helps spread Irish music. I worked on a tempoary Irish music radio station last summer broadcasting to the midlands and the response we had was amazing. There's a great need to hear more Irish music on Irish radio.

    Can I ask what station was that and do you have details of who I might contact at that station to get information from?

    Trad programme on my station, NEARfm is pretty good. People are encouraged to get involved and play live on air.

    I took a few photos a couple of weeks ago as there was about 10 young people in playing trad on a wide variety of instruments.

    The studio was a bit cramped with so many people in it, but there was a great vibe.

    Heya,

    They're not broadcasting at the moment because they were using a temporary licence but they hope to run another temporary licence at the end of June. Contact details are on the website www.countryandirish.ie

    They're a really nice crowd of people to work with and I hope to get involved again this summer.

    g'luck,
    Rosie
