December Radio Play List & Links

This Blog will be updated weekly throughout December. 

As always... if you are a radio presenter/station and have recently played or are intending to play my songs and are not listed here, please do let me know and I will add the show to the list and do all I can to help promote the show.

I am hugely grateful to all the presenters for their time and support, each and every air play is so important to me and I want to do all I can to support your shows and keep the folk radio scene a vibrant and thriving one. What you do is priceless. Thank you!


BBC Radio 2 Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe

Mark played ‘The Little Holly Tree’ from my brand new 2014 Christmas Single 

“Another album that’s made an impact this year is ‘The Lament of the Black Sheep’ by Ange Hardy. Everybody in the studio was genuinely surprised to learn this new single was her own song, because it sounds like a song that’s been around for a hundred years or more. It’s a really neat trick to write songs that sound almost traditional!”
     – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

The Wood and The Wire

Keith and Pat played ‘The Little Holly Tree', 'The Wanting Wife' & 'The Wexford Carol'

...all three tracks from my brand new 2014 Christmas Single! Thanks chaps :-) 

“If you listened to the other folk show that goes out on a Wednesday evening Mark Radcliffe just said exactly the same thing as I’m about to say now, but I’d already decided what I was going to say about this song, so: when you listen to it, you think “well, that’s a nice old traditional song that Ange has done a great version of” but actually she wrote it very, very recently herself. So it’s actually an original song. You don’t get very many original Christmas songs nowadays, most people just rework all the old stuff.

It’s a lovely little single,  it’s got three tracks on it and I’m going to play all three tracks from the now which is a first on radio – I don’t think anyone else has played all three tracks in a row yet.

It’s a delightful song. To me it just screams out “this is Christmas, Christmas starts right here”.

“What I love about Ange is, and I’ve mentioned this before about the Lament of the Black Sheep, even with the single the packing is lovely. I love the sleeve notes. It’s everything we love!”
