I'm not sure whether the details are up yet, but I understand Radio 3 is doing a 'Folk Connections weekend' on January 29th-31st. One of the programmes will be on Cecil Sharp's Appalachian collection (centenary this year) - I recorded a piece for that with Andy Kershaw and Martin Carthy on Monday.

Friday 29 January 4.00pm Cecil Sharp House - fully booked

Suzy Klein presents a special edition of In Tune live from Cecil Sharp House in London, headquarters of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, to launch Radio 3's Folk Connections weekend.

With live music from special guests including folk singer Rosie Hood with her Dovetail Trio, singer-songwriter Emily Portman, pianist David Owen Norris and early music ensemble Florilegium, the show will be a glorious celebration of folk music from Britain and around the world.

Alongside traditional folk song, we celebrate British music influenced by folk, including the songs of George Butterworth at the start of the year which marks the centenary of his death at the Somme.
