Recording Unit in a Cotswold inn
Chairman, Charles Gardiner

Produced by Maurice Brown
Maurice Brown took the recording car to Ebrington Arms, Ebrington, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, a few weeks ago, and made the recordings there for this programme. The name Ebrington is pronounced ' Yommerton ' in these parts, and is known locally as ' the place where the fools come from '. The villagers, however, say that ' only fools go there'. The singers will include a coal seller, a bricklayer, a policeman, and a man who says he is a Jack-of-all-trades. Many of the songs have never been recorded before, and most of them are drinking songs.
