Wisdom of the Elders, is a monthly series where our host, Sonny Ochs, along with co-host, Ron Olesko, invite distinguished members of the Folk community to share stories, advice and the occasional song! This series will be a mix of conversations that were recorded starting at the 2010 NERFA Conference as well as new discussions that are exclusive to our podcast.

This month - a brand new episode featuring three distinguished ex-pats who have spent their career sharing traditional folk song from Great Britain.  Hosts Sonny Ochs and Ron Olesko sit down with David Jones, John Roberts and Heather Wood to discuss their music and careers.

A singer, actor and author, David Jones has performed as a solo artist as well as a member of the groups Poor Old Horse, the Starboard List, and the Bermuda Quadrangle, among others.   Also a member of Poor Old Horse, Heather Woods first came to our shores in 1967 as a part of the trio the Young Tradition and has become a fixture in the trad scene, including co-founding the annual Trad Mad Week camp.  John Roberts and his late partner Tony Barrand brought English folks song to audiences across North America and their native Britain with their mix of song, tales, monologues, dances and tunes.
