Music Matters

Kate Molleson goes to the Fens to explore some of the music-making going on at Christmas, including a visit to Ely Cathedral which has a choral tradition going back centuries; a look at folk music in the region, including a discussion of Morris music with accordionist Martin Green, and a songwriting masterclass with Boo Hewerdine; an interview with Timothy Day, author of a new book about the choral tradition exemplified by the choir of King's College Cambridge; and a report from Anna Lapwood on girls choirs in Cambridge.
