A monumental radio series has begun on the history of Scottish music. You can hear it online here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/music/scotlandsmusic/episodes/episode_00.shtml. I am delighted to have been invited to contribute. I don't know which episode (50 programmes, broadcast weekly) feature the lute in Scotland. The guide is the incomparable, Dr John Purser, composer, poet and crofter. Well worth tuning in to!
