Larking About in the Fields of Cornwall
Angeline Morrison discusses the song 'The Lark in the Morning' in the village of St Mawgan in Cornwall.
'The Lark in the Morning' is an English folk song which has been sung by many artists over the years. However, singer Angeline Morrison - with the help of Merv Davey - has discovered a different version which was collected at the Falcon Inn in St Mawgan in the 1890s known simply as 'The Lark'. Angeline shares the story of the song and brings it back to life in the place it was found.
