dave and toni arthur - hearken to the witches rune

[Deleted]

those of us of a certain age will remember toni arthur as a play school/ play away presenter:



anyone who loves wyrd folk will know her music with husband dave. and what magical music it was! 'hearken to the witches rune' still hasn't got a reissue despite it being a high-water mark of the genre:



it's weird how many uk children's shows featured this type of music.

I still feel very lucky to have had a girlhood at a time when such lovely female figures were around as an influence










Sorry Skope, I've done it again (gone off on a tangent)

I don't see how it's weird at all ... that Toni Arthur track is very folk, very much of that time, and the Camberwick Green music also of its time and fits with the background story.

What other examples did you have in mind?
