John Reed Music 🎼 and Radio 📻

This week's Compendium gives you mainly music from Scandinavia. 8pm (UK) Wednesday www.folkfridayradio.com @folkfridayradio.bsky.social

One of the cups I selected for our first weekend of rehearsals for @theuntangledknot.bsky.social was one my brother Tom bought me. I only realised I'd selected it after two fabulous rehearsal days with the wonderful @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social @shirley-sings.bsky.social and #bethporter Onwards 🤣

The next Compendium 8pm (UK) Wednesday is mainly #Scandinavian You can listen to all previous Compendia as often as you like right here until someone pulls the plug www.mixcloud.com/JohnReedBrea...

A beautiful Berwick morning...
