Radio Merseyside are broadcasting an interview with Peter Cox, author of Set Into Song, the story of the radio ballads, this coming Thursday. The book has been available for several months of course, so apologies for the hiatus are in order. But we did run into more than a few problems.

The programme is being broadcast at 21.05 hrs, Thursday December 4th, as part of Radio Merseyside's Folk Scene programme. It will be available for 7 days afterwards on http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/local_radio/index.shtml .
