Mike Harding presents an hour of the very best in folk, roots and acoustic music, and catches up with the Irish singer Cara Dillon.

Since emerging onto the folk scene more than a decade ago, Dungiven-born Cara has steadily cemented her reputation as having one of the folk world's most beautiful voices.

On tonight's show, the popular singer tells Mike about Live at the Grand Opera House, her new live DVD which was recorded in Belfast back in 2009, and lets us know what else she has in the pipeline.

Mike will be also playing a track from the concert film, which features Cara, Sam Lakeman and band performing songs from her Radio 2 Folk Award-winning album Hill of Thieves, including renditions of the traditional songs Johnny, Lovely Johnny, The Parting Glass and She Moved Through the Fair.
