modern banjo king
A programme of gramophone records written and compiled by A. P. Sharpe
Ken Harvey is not only one of the world's leading banjo players; he is also an expert on many other kinds of fretted instrument. He is best known in the United States, but has 'also been heard a fair amount in this country.
A. P. Sharpe , who has written the script of this programme, is certainly well chosen for the task, since he is one of the greatest authorities on fretted instruments, and has a collection of over 6,000 records of them collected from all over the world. He has done several programmes of this type before, and the magazine that he edits might be described as the ' bible ' of the fretted instrument player.

'Village cricket carries on'
Howard Marshall introduces some of the members of the village team
Village cricket - long shadows of elm trees over the knee-deep outfield, the leisurely click of bat on ball, little girls in print dresses, the vicar, the blacksmith, the tilted Panama hat, the unforgettable aroma of tea insde in the urn. These are the imperishable ingredients of the most English of all English institutions.
How, with so many of the young men serving, is village cricket faring in wartime? What have the stalwarts of village life to say about it - the vicar, the blacksmith, Mrs. Wiggins who makes the tea, old Tom Worstold who has been the side's umpire for twenty years?
The BBC has been to a typical English village to investigate, and this evening will bring some of its worthies to the studio to talk about yesterday, today, and tomorrow on the village green.
