There's been a thread running about it on here for a while Noreen and there was a page feature on it in last Friday's Guardian

Interesting project.

And interesting that we heard about it first on Radio 4! Anyone know any more about it?

Eight folkies (including the three mentioned above, and one in a clip who sounded very like Steve Knightley) shut in a Shropshire farmhouse for a week to write material about C# in the Appalachians...

no its not c #    its d flat and if you are not equally tempered, it could be a quarter tone in between
