As in the previouse two series I will continue in this one to tell my tales of the Rev Gentleman's song collecting and stories about him and the singers who sang their songs for him who he called 'The Songmen'.
With such a busy life, when he was not folk song collecting there is much more to tell about Sabine his family and his many other interests which I will talk about in future episodes.
There will be episodes of interviews with local folk musicians and some from further afield.
A busy year for the 'Parson and the Songmen', with a production run of 25 episodes to download.
