I understood the planned TV program "Hard Cash" was never completed, but the songs recorded for it did get as far as CD, LP and cassette release. However, the "Mainly Norfolk" link says it was broadcast in 1990. The "Guernsey Kitchen Porter" was a mysterious song which attracted me enough to attempt it - and led me to investigate Michael Marra further. A quirky, talented musician and song-writer, he died too young. His wonderful website, where you could hear samples of his songs, seems to have disappeared also. http://www.discogs.com/Various-Hard-Cash/release/2361876 http://mainlynorfolk.info/richard.thompson/records/hardcash.html Ross
