Seems to be a bit on folk-related matters. Some footage of 2000 Morrismen in Chester in the 1930s, and a bit on the Padstow Hobby Horse. Some items on Skiffle, and Gospel, and 'Hillbilly'. Oh, and a comic series on that funny dog, Jerry. Someone go find Rasmussen ....! Thought some of you might be interested ... sian |
