May on FolkCast...

Summer is a coming in... but we've learned our lesson from last year's dreadful weather to cast not a clout 'til May is out (whatever that means...).

Ken's away on tour with Steeleye Span, so Phil flies solo on this edition of FolkCast

Italy's Plunkett start us off and we've music from Spain and Austria, Scotland and Ireland, Canada and England courtesy of Stormy Mondays, Twelve Thousand Days, Temple Music, Kiss The Mistress, Trouble At'Mill, Zoox, The Albion Band, The Battlefield Band, Kila, Tanglefoot, Jahrtal, Phillip Hartley, Scullion John and SixPeopleAway.

And we head to Australia with Babba, who concludes his two-part special on Transportation - the grim punishment that led to the writing of many a folk song, including this month's Story Behind The Song number, The Black Velvet Band.
