Malcolm Taylor , librarian of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, presents the last of four programmes profiling collectors of traditions throughout the UK. Tom McKean is unique among folk collectors in Britain in that he is usually paid for collecting material, thanks to his residency with Banff District Council in north east Scotland. A musician in his own right, from the rich folk tradition of America, the programme finds him recording everything from poems and stories to classic ballads.
