New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand
David Calder presents the music he loves in The Folk Music Hour, to rekindle listeners' interest in acoustic music in the Anglo-American tradition, including NZ folk song, and world folk music such as that heard at WOMAD in New Plymouth's beautiful Brookland's Park. Almost all music has a folk origin: blues, jazz, rock, and even so-called classical. As Big Bill Broonzy famously said all songs are folk songs; ain't never heard a horse sing!
