BBC UK Radio 3 Sunday February 4th. This programme is to do with the EFDSS 75th Anniversary and according to the Radio Times visits my home county of Lincolnshire (Brigg in particular)
I won't be listening but I trust those of you who do will enjoy it.
PS why aren't any of our LIncs. members in uit ? Maybe they are.

Correct me if I'm wrong FB but are you asking why Lincolnshire members are NOT Eskimo?

I did here, where it will be on the replayer for the next week. Peta Webb (VWML Assistant Librarian) was excellent, both as an interviewee and singer, but alas no sign of the estimable Mr Schofield. And interesting revelations into Percy Grainger's faintly bizarre sex life. Liam Robinson and Brian Dawson were dead good too.

Remember Wooody Allen's strictures on sex....mind it was a bit weird...

Anyway you should talk Ruth - what went on in the cowshed? We should be told.....

The two academics came over as ......well idiots is too good a word. Why do I always end up screaming at folk programmes on the radio......

Haven't heard it yet, but IIRC from all I've read FAINTLY bizarre doesn't even approach it as far as PG was concerned !!! Shall now rush away and listen to the link - thanks countess!

Started to listen - at least 3 factual inaccuracies within the first 5 minutes... already wishing to scream at the set!!! Unless I'm mistaken Grainger started using the phonograph in 1907 - not 1906 as stated... the presenter got the name of the Society wrong, and other points wrong as well..... I'm obviously too much of an anorak! I shall persevere though.....

It was only the briefest selection from Lincolnshire's enormous musical heritage. Still - better than nowt.

Grainger first visited Brigg in 1905, in April for the North Lincolnshire Musical Competition and again in September. He returned the next year, first, I think, for the Competition in May and then in July with an Edison Bell phonograph. I have read this had been bought by the Folk Song Society and was promptly 'borrowed' by Grainger from Lucy Broadwood.
