BBC Radio 2 - The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe, Folk love songs on Valentine's Day

A selection of romantic folk songs from the past and present.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, Mark presents folk love songs on Valentine's Day.

There are broken-token ballads, indelible poems, and modern tales of love and longing. We'll be galloping over moorland, uniting on windswept beaches, and, as often as not, completely failing to end up with the right person.

Mark and listeners pick the playlist, which features June Tabor, John Prine, Katherine Priddy, Davy Steele and Grace Petrie.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
