| 10 July 2010 | 20100710 | World of Music this week succumbs to football fever. We mark the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa with a show full of football-related tunes; they could be about the game, about a specific game, about a player, performed by a player or just celebrating 22 men gathered together to kick a ball around a field and get paid for it. And it's all liberally sprinkled with the sounds of the crowds and over-excited commentators. No matter which team lifts the Jules Rimet trophy, the music will lift your spirits. We mark the final of the 2010 World Cup with a show full of football related tunes. | |

| 24 July 2010 | 20100724 | This week Mark Coles brings a selection of new releases to the (turn) table. There's a couple of Turkish tracks that demonstrate how different styles can be combined to make something distinctive, a young British female singer-songwriter whose sparse arrangements are full of melancholy, music from Senegalese favourites, as well as from a Malian teacher (only his third in 4 decades). And we play one of the bands who will be appearing at this weekend's WOMAD festival in the UK, playing on the newly-renamed "Charlie Gillett Stage", in memory of the man who did so much to bring world music to public attention and acclaim via The BBC World Service.
