About Me

We play the traditional music of Great Britain & Ireland, Monthly Sundays on 209radio.co.uk from ancient source singers recorded on wax cylinder to bright young bucks on traditional digitally encoded mp3.
Makeitfolky is also available to enjoy as a podcast. While they think you're listening to The Arctic Monkeys on your iPod, only you know you're actually listening to an old woman singing about incest.
NEW! Listen to mono recordings of sailors singing sea shanties recorded on a platter of warm beeswax with a knitting needle in 1912 on crystal clear super stereo FM! 209Radio has been awarded the new community Radio license for Cambridge and will be launching soon!
See 209radio.co.uk for details.
You can't fake the folk!
By the way, ignore the calender below - Bloody thing I can't get it to do anything I want it to. First Sunday of the month at 3pm, 209radio.co.uk, is all you need to know.
