Description
Back in 1987 when we moved back into Wiltshire we have been working with and singing songs from Wiltshire and the surrounding counties. Influenced by Bob's Mum and Dad's research and singing of songs from the wonderful Alfred Williams Collection in the early 1980's and their album and books from Oxfordshire this is a collection of songs predominantly from the Manuscripts of Alfred Williams and the county that we have made our adopted home.
The album title comes from our belief that so many songs echo of the tireless work by Alfred Williams to preserve and cherish these insights into the lives and labours of the rural people of the Upper Thames area.
Many of the songs collected by Alfred Williams had no tunes recorded in manuscripts, so consequently many have been adapted to fit new tunes or arranged to suit our own connection into the work. We make no apologies for changing words and tunes.
"We hope that Alfred would have 'echoed' our sentiments and,
alongside many others currently working on the collection, this will be another chapter to add to Wiltshire musical heritage. -
