The featured album was PREMIERE by KORNOG (Green Linnet). This is a recording of a 1984 concert in Minneapolis by possibly the first Breton group to play arranged concert sets rather than specifically dance music. It includes traditional Breton tunes and some songs in English from the ex-pat Scot band member, Jamie McMenemy. A delightful album, still sounding fresh and exciting.

I was 'assisted' in the studio today by two local musicians, Jim McWhinnie and Roger Hargraves. They were more a help than a hindrance today, which was a great relief. Apart from being my friends, we also play in a band together. Roger presents another folk program on 2MCE-FM and often fills in for me when I'm out of town. He and I have each travelled recently, so the program included some music from various interesting places our families' visited.

The featured album was RIOBÓ by RIOBÓ (Altafonte). This is a 2011 album (but new to me) by a group formed to support the very fine Galician fiddler, Begoña Riobó. Mostly new arrangements of traditional Galician material. The following tracks were scattered through the program:
