Although Paul Graney was, in his own words, "an ordinary bloke" from the North West, he left as his legacy an extraordinary collection of audio recordings that reflected the changing lives of ordinary people in the first half of the 20th century. He spent months living rough during the Depression, helped to organise the Manchester contingent of the Jarrow March, fought against Mosley's Blackshirts, and saw Hitler rousing his supporters in Berlin. Later, he became a collector of folk music from across the world, saving hundreds of traditional songs from fading out of memory. Jeffrey Richards tells Graney's story. Producer Libby cross
