The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond. This week, American-born, British-based singer Julie Felix talks about her long career.

Originally from California, Julie came to the UK in the 1960s and became one of the most visible folk singers of the era, appearing as resident singer on The Frost Report before hosting her own TV shows. She might have been the first folk singer to fill the Royal Albert Hall.

Julie turned 80 this year, and new album Rock Me Goddess is her first for 10 years. Recorded near Glastonbury, Julie says the album is the "next best thing to an autobiography."

Plus the usual mix of exciting new releases, classic tracks and news from the folk world.
