Update: 2021-04-30
Description
Dr Alice Little, Knowledge Exchange Fellow with the University of Oxford and the English Folk Dance and Song Society, speaks with folk musicians and music collectors Jeremy Barlow, Matt Coatsworth, and Becky Price about the history of English folk music, and what makes it so 'English'.
From seventeenth-century Playford to twenty-first century Boldwood, this episode features recordings of a range of folk tunes (including previously unreleased tracks) in addition to the discussion. Looking primarily at instrumental music, they discuss the migration of tunes around the world, how they are played, their use in dance, varying instrumentation and the restrictions that brings, and how tune titles relate to each other.
