Travelling Folk at the Festivals

In lieu of the normal line-up of summer festivals, Bruce MacGregor celebrates live music with highlights of Travelling Folk's time at some of the best folk festivals in the world.

Nothing quite beats live music - the atmosphere of a festival and the sheer joy and exhilaration that comes from being in the thick of it. So many of us are missing that right now but tonight on Travelling Folk we’re bringing the festival to you…

With highlights from some of the best folk festivals in the world - including Orkney, Shetland, Heb Celt and the Festival Interceltique de Lorient - we have the perfect tonic for these trying times when the world is missing live music.

Tune in for live sets from The Elephant Sessions, Flook, The Chair, Tony McManus, Frigg and many more.
