The UK’s top folk performers singing their unique versions of classic 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 cover versions. So, settle down with a drink and some snacks and get in the romantic mood.
