Finding Albion: Myth Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain
An alternative spirit of Britain is vividly alive today and it can be found in the Radio 6 DJ and broadcaster Zakia Sewell is on a mission to discover and alternative spirit in Britain and she finds it in folk songs, ancient legends, Celtic seasonal rites and the mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape.
Her quest begins at sun rise on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer’s peak at Notting Hill Carnival she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean and in the depths of a Cornish winter Zakia Sewell considers whether today’s folk revival could unite our increasingly divided country.
