The BBC included a short feature on John Gay's 'Beggars Opera' in its recent series on The Georgians.
Does anyone know of any 'folk' interpretations of this early folk opera and if it is available on CD? Amazon list one by Jeremy Barlow's Broadside group, and I recall Shirley & Dolly Collins including a selection on one of their albums.
I might have thought someone covered it at a festival at some time in the past. Any offers?
