A-ROVING BRITAIN AND IRELAND
with Peter Kennedy
Did you know that May the 29th used to be widely celebrated - known as Oak
Apple Day - such as the garland processions which take place at Castleton in
the Peak District and by villagers at Wishford in Wiltshire - time to listewn
to a famous country singer from Wales, Phil Tanner of Gower near Swansea - way
down south to St Marys on the Isle of Scilly to meet the singing busdriver and
crew of the lifeboat - a chance encounter with a group of kids street-rhyming
in Liverpool - a Dorset gypsy queen is recorded in her wagon as the farmmer
tries to pull her off his farm - technical hints from a classical Scots strathspey
and reel fiddle merchant - rounded off with a Welsh sea shanty about Cork Harbour
