Currently being discussed elsewhere -

Stations of the Sun by Ronald Hutton.

When people ask me for books with songs and music I always recommend the Penguin book (now republished) since there are still songs in there which are rarely sung.

Marrow Bones and that series for songs and music, Foggy Dew is rare.

Karl Dallas's two books. Hundred years of Toil+Cruel Wars

Peter Kennedy's Folk Songs of Britain and Ireland

All MacColl and Seeger's books. Including Shuttle and Cage, Personal Choice, Singing Island, etc.

Books that have an academic content. Also some music and song

Anything by Roy Palmer

MacColl and Seeger

Traveller's Tales of England And Scotland.
Till Doomsday in the Afternoon.

I could go on..........

I don't have all of these by the way so whilst it is a blatant advert, it isn't totally.

Best regards,

Dave
