We're back in the village of Dungworth on the outskirts of Sheffield,

and we're in the car park of the Royal Hotel,

scene of the Sheffield Carols episode, which we recorded here,

and also seen of the episode we recorded with John Bowden,

when we went walking in the Loxley Valley,

which is stretching away behind me here, a wooded valley, very green, full of cows,

and then in the distance I can just see the roofs of Sheffield and the wind turbines on the horizon.

And this time we're here for a very special weekend, a soundpost weekend,

when a group of people are going to get together to explore what folk music is

and to participate in singing and performing it.

There'll be some names that you've heard of,

and at the centrepiece of it all is Fay Heald, Professor Fay Heald,

an academic at Sheffield University who studies folk music,

but also a folk performer of great skill herself.

And we're going to walk with Fay in this beautiful area, and then she's going to take us into

the Soundpost weekend.

Music I'm. I'm
