The Society of Strange and Ancient Instruments formed in 2010 to raise the profile of unusual early music instruments, such as the hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa and theorbo. Members of the Society perform live in the studio with a selection of instruments.

The Wellensian Consort, who met while singing with the choirs of Wells Cathedral School, won the coveted title of Choir of the Year in 2010. They sing live and talk to Sean ahead of a special St Cecilia's concert at London's Cadogan Hall.
