This is a wonderful collection, and through it I discovered something new about my favourite tune - Night Till Morn AKA “A Love”…
The Song Detectorists of @musicheritageplace.bsky.social take me to Northamptonshire tonight at 9.45pm on BBC Radio 3 in search of The Maunsell Family Music Book. Then @nancyannfolk.bsky.social and The Melrose Quartet bring it back to life. Top production by @natalie-steed.bsky.social

Wiltshire tonight on #thesongdetectorists

I fell in love with many of the songs found here - all collected/composed by women - AND got to work with brilliant local historian Lucy Whitfield!

Episode 2 tonight!
It was very moving to hear our Melrose Quartet Shrewsbury Folk Festival song workshop revisited as part of this season 2 premiere last night. Thanks to @natalie-steed.bsky.social for capturing our teaching - something we love to do! Listen again here and to the rest of the series all week.

Tune into @radio3.es for tonight’s adventure in Lincolnshire!
I’m looking at place names and bits of melody as they surface in this region over the centuries - and the Devil features heavily!

Lincolnshire tonight! The cradle of English folk, in many ways, and a favourite region of mine.

Jess & Richard Arrowsmith’s super version of Jolly Miller is the first tune in the book we’re uncovering, and I look at bits of melody and place names as they resurface across centuries.

We're off to Lincolnshire in search of the Devil with Carol Dawson, @nancyannfolk.bsky.social and the Melrose Quartet and @musicheritageplace.bsky.social in tonight's Song Detectorists on Radio 3 at 9.45pm. Lovely production, as ever, by @natalie-steed.bsky.social

@shrewsburyfolk.bsky.social Splendid sharing of an equally splendid example of what makes #ShrewsburyFolkFestival such a top tier Folk event. Don't know if @matthewbannister.bsky.social and the @folkonfoot.com team have ever had the pleasure of visiting SFF. :)

I’m really looking forward to teaching at the Folkworks Summer Sessions in Gateshead this July 16-18! Book your tickets now for what I’m sure will be a brilliant few days of music making and fun.
