StephenH Who Wrote the First Folk Song BBC The Li (3) Who Wrote the First Folk Song BBC The Li 03 Apr 17

THe BBC's "The Listening Service" has this as a topic for an episode.
Guests are Fay Hield and Steve Roud.
As the presenter intimates at the beginning, a 30 min program isn't really a lot of time to muse on this question, and at the end says: "Who wrote the first folk song? It just doesn't matter, what matters is what you do with it."
So here's the link for anyone interested, I thought it enjoyable for what it was.
