I've watched a few episodes of this series, available for streaming on FREEVEE. Hosted by Penelope Keith (you may remember her from Britcoms THE GOOD NEIGHBORS and TO THE MANOR BORN). t Beautifully filmed showing magnificent British landscapes (and seascapes), a couple of the shows I've watched include Folk Traditions and celebrations such as the Abbots-Bromley Horn dance, and others (hobby horse). So far have no focus on music traditions other than the music accompanying the various celebrations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbots_Bromley Americans may know Abbots Bromley from its presentation in THE REVELS, founded by John Langstaff and performed in Boston, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC..... https://revels.org/history-and-founder/ Not always pleased with the narration, but it is beautiful to watch. Has anyone else seen the series - perhaps point out some of the more interesting folkloric segments ????? Cheers, Thomas.
