Moving From Brittany to England

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

This is a show that starts off in Brittany, France with a big helping of Celtic music and then musically makes its way across the English Channel to England via The House Band and finishes with a lengthy in memoriam set for Cyril Tawney, the English singer and songwriter who died on April 21 at age 74 after a lengthy illness. Tawney played a key role in the English folksong revival and was one of the first revivalists to write his own material. Among his well known compositions are “Sammy’s Bar”, “Grey Funnel Line", “Sally Free And Easy” and Chicken On A Raft”.
