As many of you will have seen, we recently started our wrap-up of 2018 with our selection of the best folk albums of the year. This week’s show features music from the first two parts of that list which amounts to just under 3 hours of music. While we don’t yet know what next year may be bring, there is doubt in my mind that 2018 was an exceptional year for great music.
