Arrogance, Ignorance, Greed & RaW Folk

After a fortnight's hiatus RaW Folk returns on Valentine's Day with all the news from last week's BBC Folk Awards, including music from Sam Carter, Nanci Griffith and double award winners Show of Hands. To whet your appetite, below is the recently finished video for SoH's 'Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed', which picked up the gong for Best Original Song.



The programme will also play host to regular features The Legend of Stuff and another Folk On or Folk Off - so, er, make a date with RaW Folk on Sunday. Sorry...
