So much music

There are so many sources to obtain music these days that sometimes we feel spoilt for choice. When we started rootsandshoots we played from our own collections of CDs. Now we download music, get sent music from musicians and promoters, make use of websites like Youtube and Spotify and so on and mostly play from a laptop rather than discs. Each of us has different - overlapping - tastes and we individually plan our programmes. Very often one of us plays a piece of music that prompts the other to play something to compliment it and so the playlist develops organically.

More and more, we feature live music which is always a treat. See the blog entry below for information on the musicians coming on rootsandshoots soon.
