The Wild Rover Part II

Fire Draw Near - A podcast by Ian Lynch

Categories:

Part II of the Wild Rover Podcast looks at what happened to the song over the first 300 years of its existence as it spread from England to Scotland, North America and Australia, where it began to evolve into something resembling the version that we all know today. Featuring performances from Marshall Morris the Travelling Woodsman of the Fosseway, Cormac Dermody, Paul Denman, Beanie Entwistle, Mark Jennings and Liam Crill . Do yourself a favour and check out Brian Peters' article The Well-Travelled 'Wild Rover' (Folk Music Journal Vol. 10, No. 5 (2015), pp. 609-636), which I relied on heavily while creating this podcast. https://campsite.bio/firedrawnear
