Just started on BBC Radio 4 - about folk singers at Shrewsbury Festival

Chris Eldon Lee hears the results after eight contemporary singer-songwriters are holed up for a week in a remote farmhouse in Shropshire and tasked to write songs about the life and work of Charles Darwin. Featuring their daily creative life in the farmhouse, their expeditions into the land that the young Darwin knew and the premiere performance of their songs at Shrewsbury's new Theatre Severn, close to Darwin's birthplace.


Sadly, it seems that this programme might not be on 'Listen Again' - probably due to copyright issues.

Shame - it was a very interesting bit of radio. Attendees at Shrewsbury Festival will probably have a chance to hear these specially written songs.

I don't know about 'listen again' but there will be a 2hr Darwin concert at the festival on Sat 29th August.
