London Folk Song Cellar

The London Folk Song Cellar was a fictitious folk club based in the Cellar Bar (and adjacent room Trefusis) at Cecil Sharp House. It was run by Peter Kennedy of the EFDSS for BBC Transcription Services. Recording sessions took place in blocks of 6 weeks at a time in 1966 and 1967, with a specially invited audience. The shows were designed to sound like typical coffee bar folk clubs of that era. Comperes were Robin Hall and Jimmie MacGregor.

There were 39 episodes in all, each 43 mins long. Recordings were made by BBC Transcription Services and pressed to acetate discs, which were distributed around the world and broadcast on international radio stations. Many of these digitised recordings, from a mixture of BBC Transcription Services discs and radio broadcast sources, are available but episodes 28, 31 and 39 are not available.
