Music Weekly podcast: Gravenhurst's favourite folk – and a fistful of festivals

The sun's finally out, and there are anxious stories surfacing about the number of soiled tents that will be thoughtlessly discarded over the summer. It must be festival season. Joining Alexis and Kieran to offer an expert insight on what's coming to a field near you is Sam Richards, editor of the Guide's 2012 festival special.

In Singles Club we have tracks from Protect-U, Fabiana Palladino (featuring her fretless dad) and Poppy and the Jezebels.

Plus, Nick Talbot – otherwise known as Gravenhurst – comes in to talk to Michael Hann about his favourite English music, his love of a good drone and why, after such a prolific flourish it has taken him five years to get a new album finished.

Thanks for listening. Do leave your thoughts below, especially if you have witnessed anything more bizarre than a swan being thrown at a musician on stage.
