Cecil Sharp Project

A revisiting of the project which initially threw together a group of leading lights of the folk scene, whereby they had six days to work up a set of songs about Cecil Sharp from scratch – the great song collector whose work in the early years of the 20th century helped lay the foundations of the modern folk revival – to be performed live and recorded as an album. The performers regrouping are Steve Knightley, Jackie Oates, Andy Cutting, Caroline Herring, Jim Moray, Patsy Reid, Leonard Podolak and Kathryn Roberts.
