There's lots of great new Folded Wing radio shows to listen to over the festive period, so we thought we'd give you the lowdown on some of them...
1. Jamie Cullum's Christmas Special, BBC Radio 2, Tuesday 17th December, 7pm-8pm
Always a special show, Jamie prepares us for the run up to Christmas by playing some of his favourite new jazz releases for the Christmas period as well as choosing classic Christmas tunes with jazz flavours. Featuring music from the Ahmad Jamal Trio, Nostalgia 77, Sufjan Stevens, Duke Pearson and much more. Plus Jamie chats to and performs a very special live track with UK vocal star Eska. Unmissable!

2. The Selector for The British Council (syndicated to FM stations in 40 countries around the world), Friday 20th December, 1pm GMT
As it's the last show before Christmas, it's only right that this week's Selector is a Christmas special. Goldierocks will have brand new Christmas tracks from the likes of Younghusband and PINS, plus some of our favourite acts from the past year have picked their favourite Christmas tracks, including choices from Franz Ferdinand, Nick Mulvey and Afrikan Boy.
