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 .

If it is it must be one L of a big parish. Listen Again means it can be heard anywhere in the world.

True enough Fred - The Living Tradition is a state of mind not a place - and other such bxllx.

Sorry about all that rubbish. What I should have said was we saw Peter Cox talking about the Radio Ballads at Shrewsbury Festival It was excellent I urge anybody - folky or otherwise to go.

Cheers

Don't you just hate it when people post without really reading the earlier posts?

Most frustrating. There seems to be a little bit missing at the beginning and the end is definitely missing. Cox explains that he's going to play two extracts from Travelling People, the second to allow listeners to recover from the first, which was the last 45 seconds of that Radio Ballad. That extract is indeed frightening. But then the archive.org copy stops before the second extract. So we miss the recovery.

The full 'Travellers' CD is available on Amazon / eBay. And I'm sure that Peter Cox can supply details of the missing parts - to promote his book he lectured around in many place for quite a time.
