In this edition of Twenty Minutes broadcast in the interval of a Prom concert from the Royal Albert Hall, Louise looks at the poor image and status of Romanies across Europe today. She tells a depressing story of age-old prejudice and scape-goating, which is currently being exacerbated by anxieties about immigration and the economic downturn. On a more positive note, however, she celebrates the way that Romany cultural influences, - whether the music of traditional bands or as transformed by composers such as Ravel and Sarasate, whose work is featured in this evening's Proms - can help improve life for the Roma and Sinti people who make up Europe's fastest growing ethnic minority. The novelist Louise Doughty has long known that her father's family were English Romanies. She remembers learning to play the spoons at an early age but also recalls her father's advising her not to mention her ancestry to neighbours or friends at school.
