this week 23rd september

Our guest is Caroline Palmer who is going to talk about her film about John Harris, the Cornish poet miner. Her film won a joint first at Buxton film festival.
I have been to sample the delights of the St Ives festival and today saw some good performers down from up country. Again, indoors because of the constant Cornish mizzle but I hope to be reading some of the poetry there today and recommending it to you.
Also playing more of Mr Biscoe, whom I caught at Redruth railway station whilst going down the line to St Ives. The train journey is quite delightful, cheap and convenient for the town. There, I've done my bit for the environment.
Join us on Friday at 3.30 for some of John Harris' poetry and ones I've set to music. It feels like winter here already but hopefully we can bring the spring into your lives with some of his nature poems.
