Owen Woodson Arty Farty Folk & Nationlism Workshops (7) RE: Arty Farty Folk & Nationlism Workshops 22 Jan 13

Vic,

It was indeed made by the Beeb. One of quite a number made with Bert around that time (1970s), including Song of Maramures (Rumania); a programme about British folk customs, which included footage of the annual Liverpool TUC May Day rally; and a programme about industrial folksong.

I was about to add there were others, when I remembered a doc called Still We Sing, about the Hebridean traditiion and a doc about Doc, Watson that is.

The pity of it was that these were in the days before video recorders, although I did record the soundtracks of most of them.

I don't know whether any of these made it onto Youtube. I must have a look when I've got a minute.
