Keeping Tradition Alive At Christmas - Episode 3

Radio 2 goes on journey to celebrate local voices and different caroling traditions around England and Wales. Across the country, pockets of people have been keeping alive Christmas traditions that were lost to most hundreds of years ago. This Christmas, they're inviting you to step into their homes, pubs and churches, to share their festive sounds. Tonight Billy Bragg, a folk singer fascinated by identity and Englishness, reveals West Country Christmas traditions. He finds voices which can be heard on cold December Sundays in Padstow, as locals go from street to street singing the Cornish Curls they have proudly nurtured. In the final episode, Bellowhead's Jon Boden joins a good old knees-up in Leigh-on-Sea.
