Acoustic music of all kinds

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

With new releases by Dervish, Rianne Downey and Rhiannon Giddens.

A listener chooses music by County Mayo's Niall McCabe, and Mark plays a Swedish love song that's loved by Laurie Anderson.

Plus an unheard live track from our recent trip to Celtic Connections, and, on the anniversary of Steve Wright's passing, an archive clip of Steve speaking to Christy Moore.
