Check out tonight's Front Row on Radio 4 - excellent interview with a chap who has written a book about folk music - not on iplayer yet but should be soon

Similarly, the same programme has just reviewed "Bedlam" at the Globe in London.

"Set in the famous hospital, it's an exploration of madness and includes original 18th century folksongs and dances."

Should be here to Listen Again. Apparently the songs used are appropriately bawdy and seem to have slightly shocked the Front Row presenters. (Schoolgirl giggles all 'round.)

And there was a very nice piece about country dancing on Women's Hour -- "Chapter 3" or about 25 minutes in.
