Bob Prizeman tells the story of the gallery minstrels who played in the old church bands between 1750 and 1850. Petty tyrants in matters musical, they were feared and respected by parson and people alike, who turned round to 'face the music' coming from the gallery at the back of the church. Their performances were often noisy and unwittingly irreverent. Music THE MADDING CROWD Producer STEPHEN SHIPLEY Stereo (R) revised
by David Nathan, based on Henri Murger's "Scenes de la vie de boheme"
Bohemia is a district of Paris bordered on the north by cold, on the west by hunger, on the south by love and on the east by hope. It is a stage in artistic life, a prologue to the Academy, the hospital or the morgue.
Murger's book inspired the two operas of Puccini and Leoncavallo entitled La boheme.

Do the Horsemen of the Apocalypse carry a secret message, or an obvious warning? Will a conflict take place at a battlefield called Armageddon? Why has the Bible itself become a battleground of divergent belief?
