With Emily Smith

An hour of the very best in folk, roots and acoustic music including an interview with acclaimed Scottish singer Emily Smith about her new album.

Mike Harding presents an hour of the very best in folk, roots and acoustic music including an interview with Scottish singer Emily Smith about her fourth solo album, Traiveller's Joy.

Long-tipped for great things by Mike, Emily joins him to discuss a record full of music inspired not only by travelling traditions but also her own recent times on the road.

The new album - produced again by Jamie McClennan - features a familiar blend of traditional arrangements and original songs by Emily, as well as a cover of Waltzing's for Dreamers by Richard Thompson, who invited her to to join the line-up of his Meltdown Festival last year.

Plus Mike previews the 2011 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2 Folk Awards with music by some of this year's nominated artists. The Folk Awards, which Mike will co-host with Barbara Dickson, will live on Radio 2 on Monday 7th February from 7pm.
