The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

Manchester duo The Breath perform an exquisite live session, with songs from their mini-album, Only Stories.

Mark plays a selection of tracks to mark the occasion of May Day, and hears from listeners around the country about their May Day traditions.

There's also a tribute to the late Lancashire singer and organiser, Alan Bell, and music from two legends whose centenaries fall in this week: Pete Seeger and S茅amus Ennis.
