Lots of free downloads from the Beeb:

Includes Joan Baez, Christy Moore, Peggy Seeger, Paddy Moloney, even Burl Ives - all free to download using 'right mouse click' / 'Save As ...'

Sorry for the duplication here. I followed thru' on the alternative link to Peggy Seeger and was amazed to find a whole swag of DIDs that I thought folk might be interested in - on a separate thread. And these include Burl Ives - wow!!! I wonder what other treasures the Beeb archives hold - as if I didn't know!!

Even Jimmy Shand is there ... or at last, will be when the Beeb gets round to adding that one too. The Ian Dury one never seems to be available though, bah!

Aha - not all music choices are available.

So I wonder what's the point of including or referring to some of the guests?

I have downloaded the Ian Drury one - 15Mb - and can email it to you. Send me a PM with your email address. CJB
