An evening of traditional songs recorded in Suffolk early this summer
There are few corners of England in which the tradition of English folk song is spontaneously carried on. One of them, however, is in the cosy tap-room of the Eel's Foot inn, tucked away in the heart of rural Suffolk. Here every Saturday night the clientele gathers together (as described in the article on page 16), and, under the direction of a chairman who thumps loudly on the tap-room table, join in singing songs of the kind that are rarely written down, but are none the less a true part of English music.
A van recently spent a Saturday evening at the Eel's Foot, and the results of the visit you will hear this afternoon. Producer Maurice Brown will be heard in the course of the programme, and also A. L. Lloyd , whose ' Voice of the Seaman ' programme many will remember, and whose programme about New Zealand, ' Land of the Long White Cloud', will be broadcast next week.

Devised and presented by John Sharman
Here is a Variety show with a difference, full of cracks and gags and surprises that must not be given ' away. The O'Gorman brothers - Dave and Joe - have proved in almost every music-hall in the country, in George Black 's Palladium ' Crazy Shows and in the last three Lyceum pantomimes how full of ingenuity they are. Now Ted Ray , who 'fiddles and fools' and has been a big hit in three radio 'Music-Halls' since he made his debut last January, is to team up with them for the first time.
He was in turn clerk, ship's steward, professional football player, and member of a ship's orchestra before going on the stage.
There will be a lot of other stars on the stage of St. George's Hall tonight and there may be a lot more stars in the audience. If they come up on the stage it will be too bad!
Next ' Just Fooling' on September 16.

' Continental Serenade' with Nora Gruhn
Otto Fassel and The BBC Theatre Orchestra
Leader, Tate Gilder
Conducted by Mark H. Lubbock
This is the first of a number of programmes under this title that will be broadcast from time to time in the ' Saturday at nine-forty-five ' series. These ' Continental Serenades ' will present selections of big musical hits which have come from all parts of the Continent during the past eighty years or so. There will be popular classics, opera and operetta numbers, songs, and so on. Most of the music will be easily recognised, though from time to time you may hear some Continental hit which for some reason or another has never established itself in Britain.
