The Wife of Usher's Well // Anna RG - pt 1
b'We\\u2019re kicking off the second series with the brilliant Anna RG who\\u2019s introducing us to The Wife of Usher\\u2019s Well, a ghostly story of a grieving mother visited by her 3 deceased children. Conversation touches on unexpectedly diverse topics such as the life of the British immigrant in America and the often overlooked patchwork of traditions which make up the country. Anna goes on to talk about how we can expand the ways of interpreting traditional music today with the huge variety of techniques available to us.
