Lark Rise: THE BAND

Who knew about this and why didn't you tell us?

There is a band in the U.K. headed up by folk artist Ashley Hutchings called The Lark Rise Band. They play classic British folk songs as well as music inspired by, as well as featured in, the BBC miniseries (which is now airing in the United States on PBS). Enjoy!

“I Have a Bonnet”

  1. Hutching's Albion Band was involved in the 1978 UK National Theatre production of Lark Rise, as seen in this excerpt from a BBC documentary of the time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBxtQhql0N4 The album of that production is available still from Talking Elephant Records
