Dr John Baxter

John Baxter is an academic at the Open University with an interest in interdisciplinary teaching and research. In recent years he has been pursuing a personal project tracing the links between Music Hall and folk songs in the Anglophone world.  His website aims to find the stories behind the songs, and to encourage people to think about singing them.  So far, the site has notes on around 300 songs, with information on singers and composers.
