Kim Carnie sits in

Kim Carnie with the very best of folk and roots music from Scotland and beyond.

Kim chats to Ceitlin Lilidh from Sian, the all female contemporary Gaelic trio who this year are celebrating their tenth anniversary with two special concerts alongside acclaimed Lewis singer-songwriter Iain Morrison.

Plus, a part of the life of a musician is the countless hours spent in vans and on planes. There comes a time in most long drives that the playlist starts to move towards the tracks we listened to when we were young – tracks that got us hooked on folk music and eventually got us standing on stage. We hear some of the favourite nostalgia tracks from the likes of Kris Drever, Kathleen MacInnes, Ellie Beaton and more who all take us on a journey down memory lane.
