The UK’s top folk artists performing beautiful original love songs. For the Folk on Foot Festival of LOVE on Valentine’s Day, 23 amazing folk acts each performed an original love song, a traditional love song and a cover version of someone else’s love song. They did it to raise money for musicians who’ve lost their livelihoods during the pandemic. You can donate at www.folkonfoot.com/festival. Now we’ve distilled the Festival into three podcast episodes. This one brings together all the original love songs. So, settle down with a drink and some snacks and get in the romantic mood. Here are the tracks:   Heidi Talbot: Easter Snow Seth Lakeman: The White Hare Lady Nade: Sweet Honey Bee Kris Drever: When We Roll In The Morning O’Hooley and Tidow: Blanket Chris Wood: The Sweetness Game Nancy Kerr and James Fagan: Seven Notes Bella Hardy: Redemption Sam Lee: Sweet Girl Macree Rachel Newton: An Hour With Thee (words: Sir Walter Scott) Eliza Carthy Night Swimming Beth Porter and the Bookshop Band: The 5th Knight and the Moon Princess Gwilym Bowen Rhys: Clychau ‘r gog Lisa Knapp and Gerry Diver: Ruler of the Rest Martin Simpson: An Englishman Abroad Seckou Keita: Kana-sila Peggy Seeger: Autumn Wedding Kitty Macfarlane: Avona The Breath: For You Steve Knightley: You’re Mine Karine Polwart: The Light On The Shore Jon Boden: Honeysuckle Halo   The Folk on Foot podcast relies entirely on contributions from its listeners to keep going, so why not become a patron – make a small monthly contribution and get great rewards?
