Bexley London, a location where our Folk Group could play for your wedding or eventTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Bexley London, has been said:- " It is difficult, when looking at the Bexley Borough of today with its almost wholly urban appearance and its extensive communications, to realise that little more than a century ago the area was almost entirely open country and surprisingly remote country at that. A map of the 1850s graphically shows this. The line of Watling Street then crossed miles of open farmland with Crayford, Bexley New Town (now Bexleyheath) and Welling as very small roadside villages. To the south a road meandered from Crayford through a pleasant farming countryside with Bexley and Foots Cray as villages with Sidcup but a group of cottages almost amid the fields. To the north the area's one main line of communication (apart from the stage coaches that bowled along Watling Street to and from Dover) was found - the newly built North Kent Railway which ran along the low land beside the wastes of Erith Marshes. Erith itself was growing then as a small town, but apart from the hamlet of 'Belvedere', only scattered groups of cottages were signs of habitation in a wide open countryside. " There’s many a good tune played on an old fiddle. ~ Samuel Butler CLICK HERE [Folk Groups in Bexley London for your wedding] [About Folk Groups] [Ensembles in Bexley London wedding music repertoire] [About Bexley London] [About music in Bexley London] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
