"The examples they played were Barbara Allen by Jim Moray and Seeds of Love by Bella Hardy, both very personalised updated arrangements/rewrites"

Jim's 'Barbara Allen' certainly sounded like an updated rewrite, but Bella's 'Seeds of Love', from our Liberty to Choose project, is straight out of The New Penguin Book of English Folk Songs. Collected by Clive Carey in Sussex and sounding very different from the well-known Cecil Sharp version, it was an odd choice to illustrate this initiative, but it was well worth it to have Bella's brilliant performance given airplay.
