Rambling Folk

10/02/2025

It’s a very chilled out, romantic vibe on this week’s Rambling Folk, with all the songs having some link to love and romance in all its various shapes and guises. There will be tracks from Julie Fowlis, Ralph McTell, Silly Wizard, Anna Massie and many more including the debut single from Anne Gair Music.

We’ll also take time to ‘Pause For A Poem’ with Kirsty Venters Marks (KV Marks)
