Bean Setting
Bean Setting
This tune was selected as part of the BBC Radio 2 Cecil Sharp Project.
At the 2014 Radio 2 Folk Awards, the first inductee in the new Hall of Fame was the folk collector Cecil Sharp. Sharp is a godfather of English traditional music, who helped to preserve much of the country's folk heritage. BBC Radio 2 selected the three tunes and songs in the pack you can download from the PDF tab at the top of this panel. The public were encouraged to upload their own performances of the material.
