The best folk and acoustic music, including news about the return of Radio 2's 21st Century Folk.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week includes news about the return of Radio 2's 21st Century Folk, in which five people inspire five new songs. We hear highlights from last year's project.

New releases come from The Decemberists, Good Habits and Altan. Mark also checks out new books with musical connections to Johnny Flynn and Christine Collister, and plays a Scottish classic by Silly Wizard.
