Description:

Very little is known about the cylinder recordings used on this recording. The original cylinders, from which they were taken, were found mostly unlabelled and in a dilapidated condition at Cecil Sharp House. They were made by Cecil Sharp and Ralph Vaughan Williams and date from the very early years of the 20th century. Particular thanks to Jim Lloyd, the English Folk Dance and Song Society and Ursula Vaughan Williams for their consent to use these rare recordings.
