The documentary was very nicely presented and to get support from stars such as Jennifer Saunders who are happy to nail their folky credentials to the mast It can't be bad

The lovely countryside around Barnsley and Cannon Hall country park are indeed a lovely backdrop and Kate has done a lot to improve the rural quality of life

Good luck to her and thanks for kindling the interest in folk song and music

The Recruited Collier is a favourite song of many new female singers introduced to folk song by Kate's popularity and who have sought out folk clubs since hearing the song

I had always associated the song with Cumbria and what a good job Bert Lloyd and Anne Briggs did (last verse has 4 lines but there mudcat threads on this!)
