Bert also made a film about British (English?)calendar customs, the name of which I can't recall. I do recall it showed some excellent footage of the annual TUC May Day march through the centre of Liverpool. In fact it even featured the sandwich board evangelist who used to hang about in Lord Street and who once appeared in an edition of the Liver Birds.

The one on Rumanian music was called Song of Maramures. I can't recall a film specifically on Hungarian music, but he did a marvellous programme on Bartok's folkmusic collecting (which I suppose amounts to the same thing) called the Miraculous Circumstance. Pun on The Miraculous Mandarin perhaps? Dunno, but I wish BBC 4 would show them again.
