3. The Folk

Meeting the voices reclaiming their place in British folk traditions and exploring the folk we remember in song.

In this episode of Heart & Stone, Meg Elliot delves into the changing world of British folk music, asking who is remembered in folk stories and song, and who has been written out?

Beginning in the breath-taking joy of a ceilidh dance, Meg meets Sophie Crawford and George Samson of Queer Folk, a group unearthing songs that document and celebrate the LGBTQ+ experience. Meg also meets singer/songwriter Angeline Morrison, who has created the first body of Black British folk song.
