More Sentinel airplay

I was fairly staggered to hear a couple of titles from Children Singing along with "The Story of My Country" from Starry Gazey Pie played on 6Music over the weekend. This was all thanks to Gwenno Saunders, for whom Brenda Wootton & Richard Gendall were influences from a very young age, and whose new long-player Le Kov is sung in Cornish throughout. Hopefully I'll be writing in greater detail about the album at a later date, but meanwhile, here's a link to the Freak Zone playlist which Saunders compiled.

Great to hear Laurie Anderson & Delia Derbyshire in there too.

Gwenno also appeared on Cerys Matthews' 6Music show on St Piran's day, and played Brenda's "An Tour Dantelezet".
