This week, Jason Manford sits in for Mark and introduces the folk music he loves, in the company of Kate Rusby and Eddi Reader.

Jason - singer, actor and comedian - comes from a Manchester-Irish family with roots in Dublin. His grandparents were a folk duo who moved to Manchester in the 1950s, and had 11 musical children who went on to form a popular show band. Despite his varied career, Jason carries a love of folk music, and this week he shares the songs he loves most of all.
