Songs from The Ship

Atmospheric audio recordings of traditional folk singing at the Ship Inn, Blaxhall, captured in 1973.

Recordings of folk songs recorded in the Ship Inn, Blaxhall in 1973. They were recorded by Keith Summers on a portable cassette recorder, so the quality is what you might expect! But the atmosphere is fantastic and the songs give a real flavour of a Friday night in the Ship in the seventies.

For more information and historical context, see the booklet notes from the recording made of Cyril Poacher’s singing.
