RE: Hive Open Mic week 152 Scarborough Fair

in Hive Open Mic3 years ago

Who was the fella that went round recording folk songs?..I know Vaughan Williams did that but there was another bloke too...used to know his name but thd old grey matter has gone wrong...

Sort:  

Google tells me Cecil Sharp did a lot. Alan Lomax did it later in the US.

!BEER

That's it Cecil Sharp.. he went round with an old tape recorder to pubs and transcribed a load of folk songs.

it might have been wax cylinders rather than a tape recorder..not too sure..😂
