THE LINK TO THE ZOOM EVENT WILL BE SENT OUT ON THE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT.

The folk song and dance revival in England in the early years of the Twentieth Century involved many people, some better known than others. Emily Gimson, the wife of the Arts and Crafts designer and architect, Ernest, was a key figure in the folk revival in the Cotswolds and in England more widely. One of the children she taught to dance, Alfred Cobb, went on to a lifetime of Morris dancing in the Cotswolds. Martin Graebe talks about the Gimsons, Cobb, and others whose passion re-kindled the tradition in the area.

Martin is a researcher and writer about traditional song and song collectors. His book about the antiquarian and folk song collector Sabine Baring-Gould, published in 2017, won the Katharine Briggs Prize of the Folklore Society, and the W G Hoskins Prize of the Devon History Society. He has given talks on Baring-Gould and other aspects of folk, to a wide range of audiences around the world.
