BBC Radio 2 - The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe, Julie Fowlis in session

The best folk and acoustic music, with Julie Fowlis live in session.

An hour of the best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, Mark welcomes Hebridean singer, musician and broadcaster Julie Fowlis to the Salford studio.

Julie, who started out with the group Dochas, is one of the finest Scottish folk singers of her generation, taking Gaelic-language folk music to new audiences around the world, not least through her work on the soundtrack of Disney-Pixar's Brave and her performance at the Ryder Cup in Chicago.

Julie's new studio album, Gach Sgeul (Every Story), was released in February and she and her band play tracks from it live on the show this week.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
