Folk music is universal, found in every country in the world and popularised here by performers such as Joan Baez and Steeleye Span. English folk song collectors, Cecil Sharp and Ralph Vaughan Williams, spent many hours noting the music, and in this book you will hear how the author has enthusiastically continued the work, discovering hidden gems of our heritage, recording folk songs and tunes, mainly from southern England and the USA. This book describes the colourful characters he met and here we find drinking songs, children's ditties, old ballads, wassails and bawdy tales.

Autorenporträt
Despite his Welsh name, Gwilym Davies hails from Hampshire. His early interest in music making came in the skiffle craze of the sixties, strumming out chords on an old banjo. The folk music boom of the sixties awakened his curiosity to explore the roots of his folk culture which he then set out to research. As well as being a song collector, Gwilym is known as a singer and multi-instrumentalist musician and is an active performer in his locality. He has written many short publications on folk song, but this is his first venture into a longer work.
