Celebrating Spring

Anna Massie celebrates Spring with the very best of folk and roots music from around the world.

As we pass into Spring, Anna Massie shares songs and tunes which reflect the natural world and the passing of the seasons.

We hear from Laura-Beth Salter and Ali Hutton about their new project and album 'From the Ground', which is a musical response to climate change.

The North Atlantic Song Convention takes place in Edinburgh at the weekend showcasing unaccompanied folk songs from across the North. Brian O hEadhra and Linus Orri join Anna to share their insights into the tradition.

Plus new music from Session A9, Charlie Grey and Joseph Peach and Alexander Chapman Campbell and Julie Fowlis.
