A celebration of the late Jean Ritchie, the Appalachian singer and song-collector who inspired both Baez and Dylan. Regarded as ‘the mother of folk music’, she came to Britain on a Fulbright Scholarship to trace the links between American ballads and songs from the UK and Ireland.
The gig features acclaimed dulcimer player Dan Evans and singer-guitarist Virginia Thorn, a rising star.
