The Wild Rover Part I by Fire Draw Near published on 2020-11-02T11:51:08Z The Wild Rover Part I looks at the historical and sociological background of 17th century England; a culture which gave rise to a body of song known as the Alehouse Ballads. It was from this group of ballads that the song which was to become the Wild Rover emerged from in the year 1678. Featuring performances from Cormac Dermody, Adrian Edwards, Paul Denman, Beanie Entwistle, Joe Yorke, Radie Peat and Marshall Morris the Travelling Woodsman of the Fosseway.
