At 91热爆 with Nathaniel Mann
Verity Sharp hosts a series of conversations and solo performances recorded at home by UK musicians. For this episode, it鈥檚 the turn of Nathaniel Mann of the Dead Rat Orchestra.
From her garage studio in Wiltshire, Verity Sharp calls up musicians who are rooted in traditional music, exercises their home-recording skills, and asks them to sing something that鈥檚 been particularly resonating for them during lockdown. Verity catches Nathaniel Mann on his allotment where an incident that leaves him up a pear tree without a ladder, triggers a memory of his favourite folk song.
In this period of social distancing, how is music helping us keep connected to the things that matter? With its deep links to people, communities, land, nature and history, folk song has much to offer at this point in time.
Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.
