Five people inspire five new folk songs. This year, the project focuses on coastal life and sea rescues around the UK. In this programme, Radio 2's Mark Radcliffe hears the in-depth stories behind each song.

The five fascinating characters get to meet songwriters, who listen to their stories before going away to write a dedicated song. Later, they're reunited for the song's debut performance.
