Breabach and Scottish folk

Mark chats to Breabach about life on Scotland's folk scene.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

Mark chats to members of Breabach, one of Scotland's most outstanding trad folk bands. Since forming 20 years ago they've released eight albums and performed around the world. The group is preparing to release a new record and tour the UK in October.

And - in the month that Radio 2 in the Park happened in Stirling - Mark explores other exciting Scottish releases and events.
