Event information
The 100 Ballads Project looked at the most popular songs of the 17th century. Who were the Beatles of the day and what did ordinary people sing? At least one of the top hits was about a disputed Parliamentary election. Another is known to have been sold in the pubs in Stony Stratford. With music from Paul Martin and friends, Angela takes you on a journey into musical history.
