Thanks - Have just searched the BBC website and can't find it, but I'm sure it'll happen. Hopefully someone can update with more info in due course.

Just wanted to say thanks for bringing Martin Simpson and Show of Hands to my attention. I've read all the posts and now watched them on youtube and think they're both great acts - and I'd never heard of them till now. Maybe because I'm at the more mature (ok, old) end of the age spectrum, but if they're on at Glasto I'll be right there at the front. I seem to spend most of my time around Acoustic and Avalon and I reckon either act, either stage, would be great. Roll on June

Some gumpf from the Perperganda website, to add to the Bellowhead info above:

Hot on the heels of their Radcliffe & Maconie Radio 2 session last week, big band Bellowhead are now confirmed to appear, in condensed form, on BBC Breakfast TV (between 8-9am) on Thursday 17th December. 5 members of the band will perform brief, seasonal snippets of Whisky is the Life of Man and Jingle Bells, in between 'chat on the sofa' with programme presenters.

Meanwhile, Bellowhead's full compliment of 11 band members feature on BBC Four's Christmas Session on Thursday 17th December at 9pm (due for repeat on 24th Dec too). The Christmas Session was recorded in Shoreditch Town Hall at the end of November and also includes appearances by The Unthanks, Lisa Knapp and Thea Gilmore.

As if this wasn't enough, Bellowhead recently received a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nomination for Best Live Band for a record-breaking 6th consecutive year.
