In September the Scottish people were asked by referendum if Scotland should become an independent nation, separated from Great-Britain. Many (folk) musicians were and still are proponents of independence. This is probably because of the tight connections with their own culture, language and identity. And whether you are pro or con Scottish independence, Folk it! will focus one whole hour on the quirky folk music from Scotland. From the old songs to the contemporary releases, from traditional to modern.
