MG introduces us to the protagonists of our story - Angela Dixon and George Etteridge MacAskill why he needed them and how he found them. Etteridge is a folk song collector, and Angela is a half-forgotten figure of the 70s.  

Put your headphones on for this dramatic story & exceptional orchestration, that will whisk you away somewhere else entirely
