Ernie Rea unearths the answers to some intriguing questions in his Pick of the Week. Just who was Venanzio Rauzinni? Well he was a contemporary of Mozart who could hit top C like a woman but who performed like a man. And Robin Hood, did he really wear tights? What did a lady require sartorially if she was invited for a weekend with King George the Fifth? Why would anyone want to write pop songs about Swindon? And where can you find a shop that advertises itself as a "Purveyor of Bespoke Sandwiches."
