    Thanks for the link Roehre (and EdgeleyRob). Just placed an order at £11.00 post inclusive for 10 CDs.
    Can't be bad eh?

    I quite fancy that, plenty of pieces I don't know, where did you order from Bax-o-D? I see MDT have it for £7.50 + p&p

    Anna: Amazon.co.uk. Listed as £9.98 plus £1.26 postage - but it was the last one left at that price from that seller (from Germany).

    At least it's a theme and not your twenty best tunes and nice to hear some Ethel Smyth and Grace Williams for a change.

    I would suggest more than a bit better, in my view a really interesting programme that brought a lot of new names to me. Well presented with a lot of nice extra information - I am sure salymap will have posted the Dame Ethyl toothbrush story before but it is wonderful........

    Apropos of nothing but the Twenty Best Tunes thread.
    Switched on this morning. Martin Handley introducing BOLEROOOOOOOOO. Oooooh Noooooo. Switched Off.
    Switched on again; James Jolley introducing VW's Thomas Tallis.....Switched Off.
    Give it one more go, switched on: Arnold's Four Scottish Dances. Off it goes.

    back to Youtube.
    Would you have switched off had it been the Cornish Dances?
