09 April 2025 9:00pm BBC Radio 2 The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe Music for making and doing

It's a productive episode this week, as Mark plays folk songs about making, building and crafting. Many folk songs are about the experience of making things, alone or together. Weaving, building, hedgelaying, boat building, instrument making and haymaking have all inspired countless songs. Jobs like mining, driving, sailing and farming are at the centre of many more. Mark rolls up his sleeves and digs into the archive. Tell him what you're up to!

Me? Difficult days! Don't know if I'm sinking or swimming!
