Michael Sheen sits in

Actor Michael Sheen shares his love of folk and acoustic music.

Mark takes a week off and actor Michael Sheen takes the chance to share his love of folk music.

Michael is a long-time fan of folk and The Folk Show. His selections range from revival classics to fresh releases from Wales.

We'll hear young folk-rock band MWSOG (featuring the vocals of Mari Mathias from Ceredigion), a formative favourite from Jethro Tull, and tracks by Kate Rusby and The Unthanks that both hold memories for Michael.

Produced in Salford by Pomona Audio for BBC Radio 2.
