Twenty Minutes

Perfect Cousins

The Cork writing duo Edith Somerville and Violet Martin Ross produced some of the finest Irish novels of the nineteenth century, yet even their best work Irish RM tales and The Real Charlotte have faded from the Irish literary landscape.

Though second-cousins, and life-partners, it was their writing partnership which their families saw as vulgar. Robbie Meredith examines what shaped and drove their relationships, and investigates whether Cork's status as 2005's European Capital of Culture might lead to a new audience for their fiction.

Mixing It

4 March 2005

Robert Sandall and Mark Russell present a special In Concert edition featuring a unique semi-acoustic gig by leading UK rock
artist PJ Harvey. This concert was recorded exclusively for Mixing It at the Royal Court Theatre in London last December,
a venue which allowed Grammy-nominated Polly Harvey and her band to experiment with scaling down their full-on rock sound to an intimate feel with acoustic guitars and a lighter percussion set-up.

23:30

Jazz on 3

Clear Frame Session

Kevin Le Gendre presents an exclusively recorded session by British quartet Clear Frame.

The group, made up of ex-Soft-Machine bassist, Hugh Hopper, Charles Hayward on drums, Orphy Robinson on percussion and steel drums, and saxophonist, Lol Coxhill, held their first major performance at last year's London Jazz Festival (November 2004).

As the name suggests, Clear Frame begin each session with a blank canvas, using their considerable collective experience to work off each other and build a truly organic piece. As Orphy Robinson puts it, "expect the unexpected."

Clear Frame are joined by Hugh Hopper's former Soft Machine band mate and 2004 Mercury Music Prize nominee, Robert Wyatt, on cornet, especially for this session.

Kevin will also be reviewing some of the best new jazz released on CD.
