East Anglia has been a hunting ground for folk music collectors for many years and Sam Steele,
a Fenland school teacher, had a nose for the real thing. Between 1959 and 1962 he recorded
traditional singers, musicians, stepdancers and
storytellers in remote villages and towns in Norfolk,
Cambridgeshire and Essex.
These are not professional performers but farmers, horsemen, cowmen, grave
diggers, a bird catcher, a
chimney sweep, a lorry driver and even a tailor, who have had their own local
culture handed down to them, over the years, from their families and
communities. These recordings give a remarkable
snap-shot of times gone by.
