Lakeman said: "I have always been interested in folk stories, songs and tunes so the plan by EFDSS to make a lot of their archives available via the internet is something I want to support. I'm excited that I've been asked to be part of this special project celebrating this work and I'm looking forward to working with this great bunch of musicians.
