Bobby Shaftoe Maps the Necklace!


Note by Pat Bernard: I envisage the Necklace Park journey of Durham folk song ‘Bobby Shaftoe as a trumpet flourish, lingering on the wind, caught here and there by trees. I am a musician and musicologist living in Canada (with its own forests and rich folk music history); and so I am sending this as my musical message, hoping that others might want to build on this flourish through their journeys mapping the Park itself.
