The Narrowboat Sessions

Genevieve visits a floating recording studio to talk to Mark Holdsworth.

Mark Holdsworth is a legend of the waterways. Musicians are clamouring to take part in The Narrowboat Sessions and to help Mark raise money for cancer research. The Skipper of the Cariad IV releases a CD every year featuring the sessions recorded on the canal. Genevieve met him in his berth at Chirk Marina to find out more.
