Shirley's show about English Traditional Music, with particular emphasis on the music of her native Sussex, features recordings, slides, contributions from actor Pip Barnes - and some audience participation.

"These people were the last of an old school and they clung on to singing the old songs as one of the few things that remained constant in a rapidly changing world. And it's not only the songs, it's the life they stand for that matters".  Bob Copper
