Warming winter music by the finest folk and acoustic artists.

Mark Radcliffe presents an hour of carols and seasonal songs inspired by Christmas customs and scenes of town and country.

Cara Dillon and Odetta take us back to the nativity, and the Albion Christmas Band offer a modern twist on tradition. Bob Dylan and Phil Cunningham bring the party, while John Prine and Dominie Hooper add some wintery grit.

There's also a Scots Gaelic carol by Kathleen MacInnes, an Irish carol by RΓ³isΓ­n Elsafty, and a Welsh plygain carol by ³ΥΈιΓ―.
