In the centenary year of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and the Peace celebrations that followed in Doncaster and across the country, this project remembers the stories of those who fought, those who refused to fight, and those left behind.

Belly Hardy, Findlay Napier and Greg Russell present an intimate evening of storytelling and song, inspired by stories from the archives, and those collected from Doncaster people through 1914-18.

The first performance in May 2019 was a special Museums at Night show at Cusworth Hall in Doncaster where the work was presented with projections from visual art specialist Wayne Sables, bringing to life the personal stories and original objects which inspired the songs.

This show was followed in June with a short run of dates in Doncaster, Shrewsbury and London.

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Lovebird Recording Studio, Rotherham, 2-7 September 2019,
This recording was made possible as part of Doncaster 1914-18 through funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund;

The Ledger is a time capsule of the fledgling Scottish folk scene.

Every week in the late 1950s and early 1960s The Scotsman published a traditional Scottish folk song with lyrics and melody alongside an explanatory article by folklorist Norman Buchan. Findlay Napier’s grandfather, Findlay Cumming, cut them out of the newspaper and pasted them into a ledger. Buchan’s articles were collected and published as 101 Scottish Songs and later as The Scottish Folksinger, two of the most influential books on the Scottish Folk scene past and present.

In early 2018 Findlay Napier, Gillian Frame and Mike Vass whittled over sixty neatly cut and pasted songs from the ledger down to the songs on this recording. At first they searched for a theme but in the end they chose the ten they liked singing the most.
