Fish

 

'John the Fish' , originally John Langford, is probably the most memorable figure on the folk music scene in Cornwall in the 60s.

He is particularly known as the late Brenda Wooton's first and main accompanist. Brenda, who he first invited onto the stage at the Count House in Botallack is famous as having recorded and popularised, and thereby preserved, a large number of Cornish folk songs.

'Fish', taking its name from the affectionate nickname that he acquired, is a 90 minute documentary interview conducted in his garden in which he discusses his career as a musician.
