Orkney Folk Festival

An hour of top folk music and chat from the Orkney Folk Festival, as Mark explores the areas around Stromness and Kirkwall with a host of musical friends.

An hour of music and conversation from Orkney Folk Festival, as Mark sends an audio postcard from last weekend's event.

Among the guests are singer and guitarist Kris Drever (Lau), Orkney band The Chair, Irish favourites Dervish, American singer Aoife O'Donovan (Crooked Still) and local storyteller Billy Jolly.

Kris's Peedie Gatherin' - a group including top local musicians - and Aoife perform live in the remarkable Italian Chapel, built by POWs during WWII on the southern Orkney island of Lamb Holm.

There's also a beautiful music session recorded inside the 5000-year-old chambered tomb of Maeshowe, near Stromness. Plus tracks by local acts The Wrigley Sisters and Saltfishforty, visiting acts including Manran and an Orcadian classic sung by Joan Baez.
