Susannah Jacobson specialises in folk-songs from many countries. She hj>s collected them from everywhere and out of several centuries. Fifteenth-century songs from England and France, songs from Germany and Spain.
Today she is to sing ' Follow my
Bangalorey Man ' and ' Green Graveling ' by Paul Edmonds , ' Hickety, pickery, my Black Hen ' and ' I see the Moon ' by Alec Rowley , and ' Aikin Drum ', ' King Arthur's Servants', ' The Crowfish Man ', and the ' Souling Song', arranged by different composers. She will end her programme with two Indian folk songs : ' Behold the Chieftain ' and ' Nadu Nadudu '. This last is very queer and unusual.
You may remember that
Susannah Jacobson was to have broadcast a few weeks ago, but unhappily sudden illness prevented her. You will be glad to know that she is well enough to sing to you this afternoon. Her husband, Maurice Jacobson , is to accompany her.
