Travelling Folk

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The life and music of West Country travellers
Compiled and introduced by Sam Richards
The musical traditions of travellers, Romanies or gypsies live on in the oral singing legacy of present-day travellers. It has been fed rather than destroyed by the impact of commercial popular music. But the roaming life of the formerly typical traveller may well be coming to an end.
