Do you (or someone else!) have the Peel show broadcast 15/12/91?
The reason I ask is that I'm a Ivor Cutler fan, and I have only part
of the session I believe was broadcast that show.
The main track I'm after is Horse, which would have been towards the
end of the show. But the whole session would be fantastic.
I'm a member of the Yahoo Cutler group, and they have quite a few
session MP3s for download.
