21 Feb 08 - 10:31 AM (#2268558) Subject: England in Ribbons Radio 3 story From: GUEST,Dazbo at work I re-listened to this wonderful programme the other day and as usual enjoyed the story told about the poor man who had a dream to go to London, when he got there he met a man who'd had a dream about treasure under a tree where the poor man came from. The poor man returned home and found the treasure under the tree. Anyone know who the story teller was? The programme was distinctly unhelpful in identifying who contributed what. Cheers |

There is a CD of songs from the show on the Sales page of the EAC site. And England In Ribbons is on Chris Wood's latest solo CD Trespasser. |
