Folk songs have a long and mysterious history.
Their origins are unknown; they have come down
to us mainly through an oral tradition passed from
generation to generation. Many of the folk songs
we have come to know and love are rooted in the
ancient region of northern England and southern
Scotland known as Northumbria. The three folk
songs in this suite reflect this vibrant, wild and
deeply historic region. Includes When the Boat
Comes In; Dives and Lazarus and The Keel Row.
