Georgina Boyes presents the first of six programmes looking at collecting folk songs. Most of what we know about folk songs has come from the collectors - middle-class people like
Cecil Sharp , Percy Grainger and Maude Karpeles - but in these programmes
Georgina Boyes also looks at the views of the singers whose songs were taken and brought to a wider audience. Among the performers in this first programme are
William Kimber , John Maguire and Walter Pardon , with music including Country Gardens, the Winster Processional
Morris Tune and The Bold
Princess Royal.
