Mark Anderson (pictured third left at top) was recorded by Alan Lomax playing the flutina at the High Force Hotel in April, 1951.
The Teesdale Folk Archive
Created by project co-founder Mike Bettison, The Teesdale Folk Archive is a collection of 80+ songs, tunes and dances that were first recorded in the region over the last 150 years by the likes of Ralph Vaughn Williams, Alan Lomax and Joan Littlewood & Ewan MacColl.
The archive is currently under reconstruction and will be back online soon.
“The best thing about the band is being part of a group of people who share the same interests, developing my skills at playing, learning new music, going to folk festivals and having fun”
