Sing Christmas
For those who may have missed it, and for others who normally wouldn't be able to pick it up, this is from the BBC archives and is from 1957.
Introduced by Martin Carthy, and including a song from Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger.

The show, in it's original form (without the bits by Martin Carthy and Alan Lomax's daughter is available on CD "Sing Christmas and the Turn of the Year" is available on Rounder 11661-1850-2.
It also features a very young able seaman named Cyril Tawney, amongst many others.
It was published in 2000 and I have played it at least once a year since.

On Christmas Day 1957, the BBC made a ground-breaking hour-long live broadcast, transmitting Christmas songs from around the British Isles. Texan folklorist and broadcaster Alan Lomax was the host. The broadcast was a mixture of ancient carols, folk songs, calypso, West African music, dixieland, skiffle, children's carols and glees. Singers across the country contributed live performances, with Lomax sitting at the centre of the web in a Birmingham studio. It was thrilling, innovative and daring. This musical time capsule gathers the memories of those involved to recapture the flavour of this pioneering BBC broadcast.

Producer: Jolyon Jenkins First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2
