  This looks very interesting and it's a pity it's not on the radio.There seems to be no Welsh music scheduled to be broadcast on St David's Day.
  Can we have some English music on St George's Day please. I remember taking a day off work many times on 23rd April to listen to a full day of English and British music. Not much was live, but that didn't matter. The BBC has thousands of recordings of unusual repertoire.
