Over the past 18 months the English Folk Dance and Song Society has undertaken a mammoth project to make available on the Web six song collections from its Vaughan Williams Memorial Library archive, and run schools and community projects in Hampshire, Lancashire and London using these materials. 

On Saturday 27 June we celebrate this project and the collections that inspired it with a concert featuring Andy Turner, Tim Laycock, Craig Morgan Robson, The Askew Sisters and the Addebury Village Morris Men and narrated by Shirley Collins and Tim Laycock.

The six collectors featured are Janet Blunt, George Butterworth, Frank Collinson, George Gardiner, Anne Gilchrist and The Hammond Brothers, and the concert will include well-known and well-loved standards of the English repertoire performed alongside some of the hidden gems gleaned from the thousands of items in the archive.

A pre-concert talk on George Gardiner by Bob Askew (1pm) and the launch of The Axford Project CD by Craig Morgan Robson and The Askew Sisters will also take place on the day.
