Summary

In this episode of Keep Folk Talking , Brian Jones is reunited with old friend Gill Burns for the first time in more than forty years. Their conversation looks back on the vibrant folk scene of the 1970s before following Gill's remarkable musical journey from the Wirral to Ireland, Europe and the United States. Along the way, they explore the people she met, the songs she wrote, the music that shaped her life, and why traditional folk music has remained at the heart of everything she does. The episode opens with Gill's lively Wallasey Hornpipe , celebrating the place she now calls home once again, and closes with her beautiful original song, "Crazy" - a fitting end to a heartfelt reunion.
