ETHNOMUSICOLOGY
The research work of the ethnomusicologist can take place anywhere, from a folk club in the pub down the road to remote and exotic parts of the world, recording the last performers of a dying music, or the first notes of a new kind, formed as cultures collide.

John McCarthy meets Rolf Killius, co-curator for the Music in India Exhibition at the Horniman Museum in London and Jonathan Stock, Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Sheffield, two people who have travelled to China and India respectively in search of music. They talk about the kind of places where they have discovered the music and the people they have met on the way.

Writer and journalist Roger Williams has explored the mystery behind the Bristol Hotels.
