Same Time, Same Place, Next Year - 2006
Archive on 4
Malcolm Taylor explores the work of folk archivist Doc Rowe.
Doc has been returning to the same places at the same times for over 40 years to record, photograph and film annual events.
These include the hobby horses (Obby ‘Oss) dancing through Padstow in Cornwall on May Day, the Burry Man of South Queensferry in Scotland on the second Friday in August, and the building of the Penny Hedge in Whitby on Ascension Eve.
Malcolm is the English Folk Dance and Song Society's librarian. He follows Doc as he adds to his vast archive of the sounds and images of British vernacular culture.
