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!

Tonight on BBC Radio 3, Matthew and the Song Detectorists discover why a gentlewoman from Wiltshire collected this salty song of the sea (sung by the wonderful Melrose Quartet).

Tune in at 21:45 or listen afterwards on BBC Sounds.

Had a chance to check out #thesongdetectorists on BBC? This programme builds upon the AHRC research project @musicheritageplace.bsky.social undertaken by Prof Stephen Rose of @royalholloway.bsky.social. Research uncovers musical treasures across county archives, including #Hampshire
