In one of Opus Anglicanum’s best-loved programmes, we explore the wonder and excitement of the early 20th century collectors of English folk music as they toured the land with bicycle, notebook and phonograph. Memorable words and wonderful music of Vaughan Williams, Butterworth, Cecil Sharp and Percy Grainger tell poignant and hilarious tales of Morris tunes and sea shanties, of ploughmen and washerwomen, and of the race to preserve their inspirational music before war and progress swept it away.
