Join us Saturday, June 27th at 3pm ET for a special live broadcast from the 43rd annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall. This year’s festivities highlight the cultural heritage of Wales, from the Welsh language to leeks and everything in between. Bluegrass Country’s Jen Hitt will visit with Frank Hennessey, host of Celtic Heartbeat on BBC radio Wales, to chat about traditional Welsh music and swap stories about their experiences working in British and American public radio.
