Chatterbox with Mel BiggsHazel Askew: Artistic Evolution & EmpowermentHave you ever considered what it's like to grow up as a woman on the English folk scene?

The Old Songs PodcastThe Old Songs Podcast: Se2Ep4 – ‘Shallow Brown’, ft. Angeline Morrison'Shallow Brown' [Roud 2621] is a much-loved and rather mysterious traditional folk song.
