Renfaire Radio Station

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Here are some of our favorites, in no special order.   Craig of Farrington, Jock Stewart, Molly and The Tinker (since split up, but great CDs), also Tinker has solo albums, Three Pints Gone, New Minstrel Revue, Empty Hats, Dan the Bard,, Tourdion,  Bounding Main,  Michael Quinn, Rambling Sailors, Cast in Bronze, Jim Hancock, Bedlam Bards.

I'm probably forgetting several more that we enjoy.  If your station does go live, can you please put it on Iheartradio, for those people who don't live nearby, so we can listen, too.

[The Lady Mercedes]

That's a great idea! I think I may make my own rennie station using Iheart! Lol

It's slowly but surely coming to fruition.  And it won't be on iHeart but it's online based and if all goes well I will set it up so people can stream with an iPhone/Android app.

Splendid! Nidhoggr you are full of good tidings my friend!

Splendid! Nidhoggr you are full of good tidings my friend!

Indeed.  On an interesting note: Tartanic played my local faire this weekend and I talked to Adrian and got his permission to put some Tartanic songs up for it.  I told him I figured they wouldn't mind but I figured since they were there I should get their blessing for it. 

I'm shopping around for what host I want to go with because I want to get an automated DJing tool so I can have bumpers, promotions, news, etc.  I've actually been brainstorming some segments for it.  Things like goings on at faires that are active, reviews, thoughts on things, etc.

Medieval Baebes would be my suggestion

[genyferbelle]

Oh, that's a cool idea!

I usually use Pandora, and have a Celtic Station as well as a Loreena McKennitt station.

But someting with smaller acts and labels on it would be fun! My favorite is still the Wicked Tinkers. I try to see them every year at Nor Cal, but sadly won't get to this year.

Also some great Dulcimer music would be great to hear more often!

[Merlin the Elder]

You can't go wrong with Sandy Denny or Steeleye Span, the latter being rather folk-rockish.  Also Martin Carthy, The Watersons. I like The House Band, who you'll find on Pandora. I hated that they broke up. They were a great bunch of guys. They do a mix of traditional and more contemporary folk.

Love these ideas! Got to check on Pandora for sure!
