Festive Fireside Folk

Available for 13 days

Mark introduces an hour and folk and acoustic music for the season. Christmas carols come from The Sheffield Folk Chorale, Tony Christie & Ranagri and Banter, and there's an a cappella moment from New Jersey sisters The Roches. We'll hear intimate story songs by Cardiff's Gentle Good and Reg Meuross alongside joyous dance tunes from Phil Cunningham and Irish legends The Chieftains. New Yorkers The Klezmatics perform a song written by Woody Guthrie: Happy Joyous Hanukkah. Gospel meets bluegrass in a version of Last Month Of The Year, and wintry love songs come from from West Lothian's Hannah Rarity and Norwegian trio ULD. Produced by Pomona Audio in Salford for BBC Radio 2
