Rediscovering the music of a Black Country bugler

The musical heritage of the Black Country is a sadly neglected area, which is a great shame as there are many real gems just waiting to be unearthed and brought back to life. To this end, Stourbridge-born musician Fynn Titford-Mock (now in his final year at Newcastle University) will be co-leading a singing workshop and concert of the music of Black Country composers on Saturday 20th February, with the help of Stourbridge-based youth choir Stream of Sound and their leader Caroline Price. The event is called ‘Come Let Our Voices Join!’

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales

Mike
I recently came across Eric Richardson's old booklet on the Lost Canals of the Black Country as part of my ongoing search for the remains of the abandoned canals in the area.
I have been posting my discoveries in blog fomat which can be found here:
