Maurice Brown has made a great study of the songs they sing in the village inn, many will remember his rousing programme ' At the Eel's Foot'. He has set out in this new series to reproduce the voice of the tap-room in song, and he is making a start with northern England. Typical songs of the Lake District and the Yorkshire dales will be heard in this opening programme.
