Interesting project.

And interesting that we heard about it first on Radio 4! Anyone know any more about it?

Eight folkies (including the three mentioned above, and one in a clip who sounded very like Steve Knightley) shut in a Shropshire farmhouse for a week to write material about C# in the Appalachians...

There's been a thread running about it on here for a while Noreen and there was a page feature on it in last Friday's Guardian
