Richard and Linda Thompson

Folk rock legends Richard and Linda both speak about their momentous 10-year duo.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, folk rock legends Richard Thompson and Linda Thompson talk about the music they made during a momentous 10-year coupling from 1972 to 1982.

They've long since parted ways, but the recordings from that time remain classics of the genre. Their albums, and more besides, are available on a new eight-disc box set called Hard Luck Stories.

Mark speaks to both Richard and Linda about their creative (and, ultimately, tempestuous) partnership.

Plus the usual mix of exciting new releases and news from the folk world.
