Scarborough Fair is probably the most famous of all folk songs, immortalised by Simon and Garfunkel, but what are it's origins? And why Scarborough?

Musicians Sandra and Nancy Kerr have been researching the song and have composed their own version of it.
They join Jenni to her how they illustrate the song's meaning and how it's developed and will sing their version live on the programme.
