Description

Our first ever live show was recorded on 4th September 2022 as part of the Folk at the Folk Festival. This is a field recording of an acoustic show in a beautiful but very echoey space with the bells of Gloucester Cathedral occasionally in the background, so the audio is a little different from usual.

Features the following:

  • Sainte Nicholas by Godric of Finchale (12th Century)
  • Account of Eleanor and Rosamond from the French Chronical of London (14th Century)
  • Fair Rosamond (trad - New England)
  • Extract from The Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
  • Extract from The Lark Ascending by George Meredith
  • The Lark Ascending/Lark in the Morn (tune)
  • Letter to The Times from G. Henry Latchmore concerning Cecil Sharp (1931)
  • Version of Lark in the Morning collected by Cecil Sharp (1 verse)
  • Version of Lark in the Morning collected by Vaughan Williams
  • Doffin Mistress (trad)
  • Extract from the diary of Samuel Pepys
  • Barbara Allan's Cruelty from the Roxburge Collection (1 verse)
  • Barbary Ellen (compiled from two Appalachian versions)
  • I Dreamed a Dream (Ashley Hutchings)

Thanks go to my family, especially Steven Shaw, for listening to all of these songs and tunes endlessly over the summer.
