I would query the use of Radio for this voyage of discovery ~ maybe tv would have been a better vehicle of discovery?

Singer's guide ~ title a bit ambiguous ~ probably to give those taking part some leeway

Barnsley (my town) has some buskers ~ one youngish lad in my view very talented doing MacColl stuff eg My Old Man and Beetles etc

Folk type song sessions tend to have traditional, Keith Marsden, Graeme Miles, Music hall and some contemporary from leading professional folk singers

Area Sth Yorks and Wakefield/West Yorkshire/Nth Yorks ~ Industrial England # current

Broadside ballads of course a different matter but of historical significance and music hall sources for singers such as Harry Cox, Walter Pardon et al ~ venues were pubs but where will we be in 20 years time?
