    Dr Feng Hai-Yun Plays The Sheng

    Beeb2 Scotland started a new prog this evening with the highly original title The World Accordion to Phil ( I wonder who thought that one up) with Aly Bain's mate Phil Cunningham - there are a few clips available ( it's not on LA yet) - I really liked this one.
    Dr Feng Hai-Yun of the Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing plays an ancient relative of the accordion, the Sheng.

    John, Interesting and particularly in the light of the recent Celtic Connections. BBC Scotland has a lot of good musical coverage.

    A serious question for the broadcasting experts - what are the options for receiving BBC Scotland programmes in England? - Lat.

        It says that it will be available shortly on i-player lat - did you catch the other clip too? Beautiful sound.
        Phil Cunningham duets with Na Wang, who plays the erhu (a kind of two-stringed Chinese fiddle) in the Black Bamboo Park, Beijing.

          I really like that one. Excellent. The I-Player news is very good. I don't do Sky.

          If I get to 60, it is Scotland or Wales for me anyway - I don't think they will be sticking the elderly in compounds - unless the South West of England declares independence in which case the I-Player will suffice.

            That's it up on the i-player for those interested. I find from some of Phil's previous programmes that he is a very genial host. Don't expect lots of info - he's very much 'Hail Fellow, well met' as we'd say up here.....and maybe other places too.

              I used to work with a fellow named McHale. Have you met him?

                By any chance, is he related to Mick Caesar, GT?
