HAMPSHIRE SONGS CONCERT
at Petersfield Community Centre. Saturday, 18th September, 2010
Featuring: Pitchpole Jack and guests, Tangle, Anne Winter and Anna Baldwin.

Put on by the Hampshire Songs Group, the concert featured a variety of songs collected from all over Hampshire, but focused on Petersfield and the surrounding area. Many of the songs performed were collected by George Gardiner 100 years ago. More recently, Gwilym Davies, of Pitchpole Jack, tape-recorded local singers, so we also heard some of those songs in their home area again.

The local newspaper The Petersfield Post ran an article about George Gardiner and his collecting of songs in and around Petersfield. The article was based on information submitted by HSG founder Bob Askew. To read the article in PDF format click here.
The Post's entertainments editor Katherine Wootton came to the concert and published a review in The Petersfield Post. To read the article in PDF format click here.

Gwilym Davies launched his new book A Hampshire Collection at the Concert. It contains words and music to songs and tunes he collected in Hampshire during the 1970s. More info here
