Mary Ann Kennedy with new releases from across the globe, plus a studio session with Scottish singer Kris Drever.
Kris Drever is best known as guitarist with the award-winning instrumental folk band Lau, but his second solo album, just released, confirms him as a powerful singer too. He writes his own songs - including the album's title track 'Mark the Hard Earth' - and he selects songs by other, mostly Scottish writers, including his neighbour in Edinburgh, Sandy Wright. Drever's origins are in Orkney, and he started out listening to Heavy Metal, but now finds himself part of the extraordinarily lively folk scene in Scotland today. For this session he is joined by fellow Scots multi-instrumentalist Anna Massie.
