Ken Russell's knowledge of English Folk music is rooted in music written by some of his favorite composers. The melodies of Ralph Vaughn Williams, Percy Grainger and Rederick Delius all owe a debt to the folk tradition. And recently, after decades of suppressed existence in the form of reimported Country and Western, the new age has brought a renaissance to the folk culture of England. That nations authentic music is once again making its mark in a more eco conscious and irreverent generation. Russell's turn out to be a mystic journey: from a village in the new forest, Hampshire, to Fairport Conventions festival at Cropredy and on to Glastonbury, taking in a colorful collection of musicians and enthusiasts in an attempt to extract the essence of England's music from its more popular fusion with the spirit of the Celtic and New Worlds.
