World Music Programme – Friday 23rd October – 7 to 9pm – Rocket FM

I was in Brussels a fortnight ago with Shirley Collins as part of her technical team to present her "America Over The Water" show. There we met a very interesting man, Nathan Salsburg who works for the Alan Lomax Foundation. He was over from America for the Alan Lomax festival that Shirley's show was part of. I took the opportunity of interviewing him and that illustrated interview forms the first half of this Friday's programme.
