Burns, banjos and big bands
Kathryn Tickell selects music from around the globe, and Scottish singer Julie Fowlis shares a Return Journey in two tracks: one for the road, and one that reminds her of home.
Kathryn Tickell selects folk and roots music from around the globe, including psychedelic Amazonian cumbia from Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical, and big-band Ethio-jazz from Armenian-born composer Nerses Nalbandian.
And the night before Burns Night, we celebrate Scottish folk traditions with Karine Polwart鈥檚 take on a Robert Burns classic, and acclaimed folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Julie Fowlis joins Kathryn to share her two 鈥楻eturn Journey鈥� tracks: one for the road and one that takes her home.
