Description

Dr Alice Little, Knowledge Exchange Fellow with the University of Oxford and the English Folk Dance and Song Society, speaks with folk musicians Sam Sweeney, Rob Harbron, and Alan Lamb about English folk music in performance today.


Where do they find their tunes, how do they play them in an 'English' way, and how do audiences respond?


From eighteenth-century manuscripts to traditional sea shanties, this episode features recordings of a range of folk tunes (including previously unreleased tracks) in addition to the discussion.
