Folk Prom

A celebration of the traditional music of the British Isles, presented by Julie Fowlis and Sam Lee. The BBC Concert Orchestra performs under conductor Stephen Bell, in collaboration with leading musicians: The Unthanks, Sam Lee, Julie Fowlis, Jarlath Henderson and ALAW. From the Outer Hebrides, multi-award-winning singer Julie Fowlis is a torchbearer for her native Gaelic tradition and famously lent her vocals to the theme song of the Pixar film Brave. Her co-presenter on the Prom is Mercury-nominated singer-songwriter Sam Lee. The innovative approach of The Unthanks from Northumbria has won them fans across the musical spectrum, and here the orchestral setting enhances the drama of their epic Mount the Air. Jarlath Henderson from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland is a master of the uilleann pipes and whistles, and in 2003 was the youngest ever BBC Young Folk Musician award winner.
