Brighton Festival
Sam Lee is taking Folk back to its roots, and is redefining contemporary folksong in the process.
Both a singer and a collector of songs, he has spent years searching the country for the Roma, Gypsy and Traveller communities, who have passed their songs down the generations for centuries – and gathered the songs that they have sung for him.
