Brenda Wootton (1928 - 1994) was a Cornish folk singer, songwriter and poetess who was - and in many ways, posthumously, still is - seen as an ‘ambassador’ for Cornish tradition and culture.

She began her musical career as a young schoolgirl, singing in village halls throughout the remote communities of West Cornwall. She became active on the folk scene in the early 1960s and almost single-handedly kept the Cornish folk song tradition alive for many years. She opened her own folk club, The Pipers, at St Buryan, and in later years, was a presenter on BBC Radio Cornwall.

She was equally well-known across the channel, in Brittany, where she often appeared - and this 2CD set, released by the Breton label Keltia, compiles material from five albums she recorded between 1971 and 1976 : “Pasties and Cream” (1971) with John the Fish; “Starry Gazey Pie” (1975) and ”No Song To Sing” (1974), with Robert Bartlett; and “Crowdy Crawn” (1973) and “Children Singing” (1976), with Richard Gendall.
