Handed Down Live at St Nicholas Church, Gloucester

Our first ever live show was recorded on 4th September 2022 as part of the Folk at the Folk Festival. This is a field recording of an acoustic show in a beautiful but very echoey space with the bells of Gloucester Cathedral occasionally in the background, so the audio is a little different from usual.Features the following:

• Sainte Nicholas by Godric of Finchale (12th Century)
• Account of Eleanor and Rosamond from the French Chronical of London (14th Century)
• Fair Rosamond (trad - New England)
• Extract from The Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
• Extract from The Lark Ascending by George Meredith
• The Lark Ascending/Lark in the Morn (tune)
• Letter to The Times from G. Henry Latchmore concerning Cecil Sharp (1931)
• Version of Lark in the Morning collected by Cecil Sharp (1 verse)
• Version of Lark in the Morning collected by Vaughan Williams
• Doffin Mistress (trad)
• Extract from the diary of Samuel Pepys
• Barbara Allan's Cruelty from the Roxburge Collection (1 verse)
• Barbary Ellen (compiled from two Appalachian versions)
• I Dreamed a Dream (Ashley Hutchings)

Thanks go to my family, especially Steven Shaw, for listening to all of these songs and tunes endlessly over the summer.
