Summer festival highlights

Verity Sharp introduces her hand-picked highlights from this summer’s festival season, with recordings of live performances, including all-female vocal group Laboratorium Pieśni.

Verity Sharp serves up an hour of musical goodies hand-picked from this summer’s festival line-ups. Whether you’re a keen camper or a couch-dweller, get into the festival spirit with some choice live performances from stages across the UK, from rain-filled fields to the Royal Albert Hall, as well as looking ahead to the final few festivals on the horizon.

There’ll be live Polish polyphonic singing from the all-women vocal group Laboratorium PieÅ›ni, and gauzy guitars from Tuareg rockers Etran de L'Aïr. Plus feel-good Frafra gospel from Northern Ghana courtesy of Alogte Oho and his Sounds of Joy, as well as some picks from this year’s 91Èȱ¬ Proms.

Produced by Katie Callin
A Reduced Listening production for 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3
