On Saturday 2nd Feb, Shirley Collins is giving a brand new talk at the Purcell Rooms, Queen Elizabeth Hall, as part of The Rest Is Noise series.
The Outskirts Of Culture explores the work of women collectors who were contemporaries of Cecil Sharp.

Will Shirley's talk be arty-farty or nationalistic? I think not.

The weekend also includes talks and/or performance by
Port Isaac's
Fisherman's Friends
+ Show of Hands
Dunajska Kapelye
... lots of good interesting free performance as well. Two gigs prevent us going
