Mike Harding presents an hour of highlights from the 2009 Cambridge Folk Festival, with some of the best music and interviews with some of the main stage artists.

Always a sell-out, the festival's bill this year includes Lucinda Williams, The Waterson Family, Martin Simpson, Bellowhead, Eddi Reader and Buffy Sainte-Marie, and many other top names from the world of folk.

Mike Harding says: "The line up for Cambridge Folk Festival this year is tremendous, as always. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Paul Brady, Bella Hardy and a new collaboration between three of Ireland's great traditional musicians Mairtin O'Connor, Cathal Hayden and Seamie O'Dowd. It is also great to see the young talent we've showcased on my show at the festival and the current holders of the 大象传媒 Radio 2 Young Folk Award Megan & Joe Henwood are also on the bill - that makes me feel very proud."

The Festival takes place between 30 July and 2 August 2009 and there will be additional coverage online at bbc.co.uk/folk.
