Down in the Folk Vault

Jon Lewis|12:49 UK time, Thursday, 1 July 2010

If you haven't already, don't forget to pop along to the Folk Vault page and listen to the latest clips!

We've got the John Tams Band doing 'From Where I Lie' in Nottingham in 2000, Eliza Carthy with Saul Rose and Martin Green doing 'Lemady' at the BBC Radio Theatre in 1999, the mighty Lindisfarne doing 'Knacker's Yard Blues' at Newcastle Arts Centre in 1998, Kate Rusby singing the 'Cowsong' at the BBC Radio Theatre in 1999, and good old Ralph McTell's 'After Rain' from Sidmouth in 2000.

Listen to the clips and let us know which you'd like to hear in full on Mike's programme... and why! You can email [email protected] or leave us a comment below.

Our next trip into the Folk Vault will be a Cambridge Folk Festival special. We've got tons of great live recordings from the event, mostly from the last ten years or so.

Whose Cambridge performance would you like us to dust off and include in the Folk Vault?

Did your curry go cold while Richard Thompson entranced you in 2006? Did you fall out of your deck chair laughing at the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in 2007? Did the Hot Club of Cowtown have you swinging all over the shop in 2000?

Let us know!

    One that I'd dearly love to hear again is Suzy Bogguss' 'Letting Go' from about eight years ago...I think it was played on one of the joint Cambridge specials you did with Nick Barraclough

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have more than 30 seconds for each clip? I find it impossible to decide which track from such a short extract - unless I know the track already - which sort of defeats the object of the exercise if the point is to discover new material?
