Graham Rorie & Aidan Moodie from Gnoss join Anna live on the eve of the release of their new album, Stretching Skyward. Plus your Official Folk Album Chart rundown.

Triple Scots Trad Awards nominees Gnoss are a force to be reckoned with since bursting into life as Danny Kyle Award winners in 2015. Formed in Scotland’s northern isles by Orcadians Aidan Moodie (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Graham Rorie (fiddle, mandolin, electric tenor guitar), the duo quickly raised the stakes by morphing into a four-piece with the addition of Perthshire’s Connor Sinclair on flute and whistles and Clackmannanshire’s Craig Baxter on bodhran and percussion. Their third release, Stretching Skyward is an album about change, with songs inspired by Scottish folk tales, the passage of time, and an emergence into a new world post-Covid. Graham Rorie and Aidan Moodie join Anna live on the eve of the album release.

Plus we find out who is riding high in this month's Official Folk Album Chart rundown, including new releases from Brighde Chaimbeul, Alasdair Roberts and the Young'Uns.
