Sound Recordings, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire
Description
Compilation of folk songs and conversation, selected from fieldwork recordings LAVC/SRE/A476r - A493r. The majority of the (male and female) singers were recorded in their own homes, singing unaccompanied. A small number of the songs were recorded in pubs, and two were recorded at Bulmershe Teacher Training College in Reading, with in some cases musical accompaniment provided on the piano, guitar, ukulele or melodeon. The extracts of conversation include talk of the song 'The Old Leather Britches', a minstrel troop, recollections and anecdotes relating to Shipton-under-Wychwood, Gypsy Traveller communities, social singing and dancing, work with horses, horse fairs and agricultural work. 20 of 20.
