Godiva

by Pam Bishop

In 1967 I took part in the radio programme “She Rode On A ‘Orse Naked”, produced by Charles Parker, which was a celebration of the 900th anniversary of the death of Lady Godiva, 15 August 1067.  I was asked to compose a tune as part of the programme and this was the result.

Pam Bishop plays duet concertina and guitar, and leads the Mad Moll folk dance band. She has been influential in getting many people to participate in folk activities by organising music and song workshops and sessions, by setting up and leading the Moseley Village Band for twelve years, by organising folk dances and ceilidhs and by tutoring at concertina weekends in Witney, Swaledale and Kilve.
