FTX-308
A-ROVING BRITAIN AND IRELAND
with Peter Kennedy
In this edition a mixture of land and sea - we meet the Copper family of
Rottingdean, on the Sussex coast - a singer, melodeon man and some ceremonies
on Guernsey which are special to this particular Channel Island - Unexpectedly
the guitar is used to accompany the Shetland fiddler Tom Anderson - and from
there to the Durham coal-mining village of Birtley for some unusual repertoire
from their folk club residents - and that most widely sung of all folk club
anthems when it was first recorded with Irish bagpipes from the McPeake family
of Belfast - Thence to work - and to some of the privately owned stone quarries
on the Dorset Isle of Portland - you might say sea shanties but on dry land
- not long before we hear from a Norwegian sailor wrecked on Chesil beach.
