The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe - Midsummer, moons and moorlands - BBC Sounds The best folk and acoustic music for a midsummer's evening.

Every singer-songwriter remembers the day their music first breaks national radio! And for me that happened this week on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social on The Folk Show featuring ‘My Dear Sister’ along with ‘The Poetry Train’ by Rowan McCabe from the album. Thank you Mark!
