Julie Fowlis and Karine Polwart in Britain's remotest village
Julie Fowlis and Karine Polwart speak and sing in the remote village of Inverie, after two lengthy journeys.
The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.
This week, two of Scotland's leading folk voices join Mark for music and chat from a truly remote location: the village of Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula in Lochaber.
Local community pub, The Old Forge, is the most remote in the UK, because Inverie can only be reached by a 17-mile hike or a 7-mile ferry.
Julie made the hike and Karine took the ferry, and en route, they began to compose new music in the company of harpist Ingrid Henderson and fiddler Iain MacFarlane.
On this Folk Show, Mark hears Julie and Karine speak and sing in Inverie.
Details of the musicians' long journeys can also be heard this Christmas on 'Pilgrimage For a Pint' on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.
