Folk Music from the UK

March 3, 2021 Programming

Today we present a programme of folk music from the UK (well nearly — there are a couple of North American artists in there if truth be told), covering the last 50 years or so.

This time we are also featuring a classic album from 1979, The Peacock Party, by virtuoso guitarist Gordon Giltrap. Amongst a talented group of musicians, it features Gryphon’s Richard Harvey on recorders and crumhorn. The tunes are inspired by characters from the book The Peacock Party written by George E Ryder and illustrated by Alan Aldridge — a sequel to the somewhat better known The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper’s Feast.
