An evening of local and popular songs, recorded in a Wensleydale inn by the BBC Mobile Recording Unit
The singers are:
Joe Alderson, the landlord of the King's Arms, Redmire, Yorkshire
Kit Jones, bookmaker
Ernest Heseltine, farmer
Jim Lambert, quarryman
Dick Balderston, farmer
Bill Balderston, farmer
Bob Bushby, roadworker
and regulars of the King's Anns
Production by Maurice Brown
Maurice Brown continues his search for music of the taproom, and this evening takes you to Wensleydale, where, at the King's Arms, Redmire, you will overhear a typical Saturday evening in the 'snug'.
Here are farmers, farm labourers, shepherds, the village blacksmith, and the one-armed keeper from Bolton Castle, which stands on the hillside above the pub. Under the vigorous conductorship of Joe Alderson, the landlord, this congenial company loves to spend an evening in uproarious song. Few of them have ever been trained in singing, but you will probably all agree that their rendering of typical North Country songs rivals any professional choir in enthusiasm.
