Join local musicians and community groups as they take part in our Festival Challenge to perform every song from Steve Roud and Julia Bishop’s The New Penguin Book Of English Folk Songs. Today’s performances demonstrate the two sides of pastoral folk songs – true tales of countryside life sung by and for country people, and tales of idealised rural existences peddled to townsfolk.
