Our first ever live show was recorded on 4th September 2022 as part of the Folk at the Folk Festival. This is a field recording of an acoustic show in a beautiful but very echoey space with the bells of Gloucester Cathedral occasionally in the background, so the audio is a little different from usual.
Features the following:
- Sainte Nicholas by Godric of Finchale (12th Century)
- Account of Eleanor and Rosamond from the French Chronical of London (14th Century)
- Fair Rosamond (trad - New England)
- Extract from The Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
- Extract from The Lark Ascending by George Meredith
- The Lark Ascending/Lark in the Morn (tune)
- Letter to The Times from G. Henry Latchmore concerning Cecil Sharp (1931)
- Version of Lark in the Morning collected by Cecil Sharp (1 verse)
- Version of Lark in the Morning collected by Vaughan Williams
- Doffin Mistress (trad)
- Extract from the diary of Samuel Pepys
- Barbara Allan's Cruelty from the Roxburge Collection (1 verse)
- Barbary Ellen (compiled from two Appalachian versions)
- I Dreamed a Dream (Ashley Hutchings)
Thanks go to my family, especially Steven Shaw, for listening to all of these songs and tunes endlessly over the summer.
