Many thanks go to BigDee for his mastering of this recording.

Note: You may gather from some of the song intros that in common with other well known Sheffield musicians Fay thrives on the history and origins of the songs. The notes from her website give some background on Fay and explain her somewhat academic approach to song intros.

From Fay Hield's website:
Alongside her burgeoning performing career, Fay is also an academic, lecturing in Ethnomusicology at the University of Sheffield. Her PhD thesis �English Folk Singing and the Construction of Community� was completed in 2010 and she is currently consultant for the �Music Communities� research project at the University of Manchester. Fay also guest lectures at other educational establishments, including the Leeds College of Music.
