Celebrating Paul Simon's 80th birthday with a selection of brilliant songs.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, Mark celebrates Paul Simon's 80th birthday with brilliant songs and archive moments from Paul's career, which began in New York's Greenwich Village before he made influential trips to the British folk circuit of the 1960s.

Paul's own songs (solo and with Simon & Garfunkel) have become folk standards, and various kinds of roots music have famously influenced his writing.
