S2 11 Wherever Celtic Blood Flows
Manage episode 444259361 series 3485950
Back in Series One in episodes 11 and 12 we explored Baring-Gould's idea that some of the songs and tunes from Devon and Cornwall were somehow different from those found to the east and whether the Celtic blood of the area had had an influence.
Well folks, in order to gain more of an insight into this topic, Mike was lucky enough to recently talk to Mike O'Connor, who is a Cornish-based musicologist, folk performer, story teller, and folk music advisor for BBC TV series Poldark(!) in order to sound out his views on the subject.
***Please Note*** There is also an extended version of this podcast which goes into even greater detail!
