The Song Collector's Collective launches archive
Jimmy Berryslide, one of the singers documented by The Song Collector's Collective.
A trio of musicians, song collectors and educators made up of Sam Lee, James McDonald and Thomas McCarthy have founded The Song Collector's Collective. Its purpose is to develop an archive of traditional singing and oral culture in the UK and Ireland. It is an attempt to document traditional source singers who are still alive, but who have rarely been recorded. Listen to recordings at the site and on Soundcloud here.
