OK - so here's a funny thing: a few years ago I ordered a Cornish flag for my mother from an online Cornish shop and, while I was at it, I decided I'd get me a Cornish CD. (Well, if you're paying for the postage, you might as well top it up, right?)

What I went for was "Covath: The Lost Music of Cornwall". I've listened to it a lot. I'm listening to it now. It's partly why I've been thinking for a while to set up a 'conference' (OK - really big session but 'conferences' tend to attract funding!) to compare research on the musics of the British Isles.

Funny old world.
