Did anyone see the program on BBC 4 last night about the Nubians in the Sudan...it started off with stones you could play tunes on..like bells...that's what you call music from megaliths

This may interest you Mr H....a major object of desire in our house.

Not quite playing the megaliths but given the prehistoric cumbrians eye for a nice piece of stone...who knows?...perhaps the group VI axes found throughout our islands are actually lithophones (-:

As for music at the stones, I'm old school and prefer the soundtrack that's already there.
