  • Historic first session from Ivor Cutler, live in the studio with Bob Cobbing. Also tracks from "Tommy" by The Who.
  • Much more on this show at Kat's Karavan.
  • The Swedish Shepherd Song from the BBC archives has its origin from Finland, where there is a large Swedish speaking minority.  JP mentions the singers are from Sweden, but doesn't mention who they are, apart from stating that there are two women singing the song.  The folk song is called "Kling klang, klockan slår", which in English means "Kling klang, the bell chimes".
