The folksongs of the British Isles represent one of the most beautiful heritages of their kind. From the witty Dashing away with the smoothing iron to the melancholic setting of Shakespeare's Willow Song or the wickedly humorous Lovely Joan, they reflect the rich variety of landscapes, colours and rhythms of life in the British Isles. They have been clad lightly for the present musical climate, respecting the form in which I found or heard them - but not without a twinkle in the eye.
