Vaughan Williams’ Folk Podcasts
Sound recordist Jake Lee Savage has worked closely alongside the VWF Team to produce a series of Podcasts which track the development of the project over 14+ months between August 2022 and October 2023. These VWF Podcasts are part of our EATMT Big Sky Traditions Podcasts. Either click on the link above for all podcasts or click on the links below for the individual Podcasts.
Podcast 7 (Bonus episode) – More than Melodeons Training Podcast
Part of the VWF Project involved some free podcast training (back in April 2023) run by Jake Lee Savage. Two of our “trainees”, Candida Wingate and Gayle Wade, put the theory learned from Jake into practice in May and joined us at our More than Melodeons event at Wingfield Barns.
