(2-CD set) During the time the recordings in this collection were made, Peter Kennedy worked for the EFDSS and the BBC, and in his free time engaged in projects of his own and those he shared with Alan Lomax; Peter and Lomax met up in Suffolk in October 1953 to record singers at the Ship in Blaxhall. Peter was keen to record traditional music and dance on film, and Lomax attended filming at the Ship in November 1955. June 1956 saw Peter in the area again, this time recording Phoebe Smith, her neighbor Jim Baldry, Bob Roberts, Jumbo Brightwell and Edgar Button. With this wealth of recorded material, Peter laid the foundations for future research into a region rich in traditional music, dance and song.
