An Introduction to A Folk Song A Day

On 24th June 2010 – Midsummer’s Day – acclaimed singer, Jon Boden, will launch an ambitious new project – A Folk Song A Day. Every day for one year Jon will post a traditional song online to promote the art of ‘social’ (or communal) singing. Now largely confined to football grounds and places of worship, social singing was once the domain of public houses throughout the land. Ending with 12 digital albums, containing a total of 365 songs, Jon Boden will also be providing a unique, traditional folk song resource for those looking for inspiration ; social singing made possible by contemporary technology.
