NTS GUIDE TO: WOMEN OF NEW AGE PART. I

Two hours of ambient & new age sounds from the Women pioneers of the genre, featuring the inner space music of Pauline Anna Strom, the gong baths of Nesta Kerin Crain & more.

Folk Country

Outback ballads from the country and folk scenes of Australia, traditions leading back to the intial colonising and settlement of the land, mostly by British and Irish people. Bush songwriting ranges from humorous to melancholic, and many explore themes of Australian folklore, including bushranging, droving, droughts, floods, life on the frontier, and relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
