PAST PERFORMANCES
BBC Radio 4 's "Open Country" on January 5th 2002 featured interviews with Stephen Dyer, Anne and Anthony. Anne's hurdy-gurdy was a source of much fascination when she played, with Anthony, on Radio Kent in July 2003! In October 2004 the hurdy-gurdy was featured again along with two of the instruments built by Anthony - a fiddle and a violetta (played by Helen). This broadcast featured music from their 2004 Canterbury Festival programme.
