Setters is on disc 3 and I’ve just found out he visited the English Folk Dance and Song Society in 1931. So it’s fascinating to read more about how that came about. I wonder whether Dave knows anything else about his stay in England? As far as I can see, there were only two other artists on the anthology who made it over here and that wasn’t until they were “rediscovered” in the 1960s. So Bill/Jilson was a real transatlantic pioneer.
