Knowing BBC4 that will be 3 hour long episodes. There's a chance that they will be available over the web but I wouldn't hold my breath - nor hang out for it being February but at least it's being done.

Now all we need is for the BBC to scour its archives and see if it still has the series where Mike Harding ** cycled down the Appalachians meeting musicians along the way. From memory there were 5 or 6 x 30 minute shows and I have some of them on very rough video copies. Can't remember when it was - probably early '90s. Not even Mike has a set - or hadn't' a few years ago when I asked him.

(And I don't think there's any dodgy spellings in this post - but I'm a bit dubious about some of the grammar!)

** for non UK readers he's a folky radio presenter with an interest in American mountain music in its various forms
