Folk on Foot's Front Room Festival

Highlights of live sets recorded in artists' homes for the Front Room Festival.

Including Karine Polwart, Peggy Seeger, Martin Simpson, Kris Drever and Nancy Kerr & James Fagan.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, Mark presents highlights from live concerts filmed inside artists' homes, for the Front Room Festival.

The online event was curated by Matthew Bannister and the team behind his award-winning Folk on Foot podcast.

Karine Polwart, Peggy Seeger, Martin Simpson, Kris Drever and Nancy Kerr & James Fagan are among the featured acts, whose performances were streamed online during Easter Monday 2020.

Folk on Foot's Front Room Festival is one of many internet-based responses to the UK's Covid-19 lockdown, which has seen countless festivals and concerts cancelled or postponed, leaving thousands of musicians without an income.

Also this week, Mark pays tribute to the late John Prine.
