Autumn has descended upon us once again, and you know what that means, it’s time for some autumnal UK folk sounds and our annual autumnal Brit folk mix. I always love making this mix for RCU every year, but I sometimes need help to scrounge up some truly great songs, so who better to ask for help on this episode than my good friend, Mikelyn Rochford.

Mikelyn is a visual artist, scholar and the host of one of my favorite streaming radio shows, The Ninth Wave. You might remember Mikelyn from being featured on this show a little more than 100 episodes ago, being interviewed in our Liner Notes profile interview series and for being the artist who designed the incredible poster for our garden party concert back in the summer. Thank you Mikelyn for joining me on this episode and for picking so many amazing autumnal tunes!
