The stories and songs of Sam Larner were used, amongst others, in the making of the third radio ballad 'Singing The Fishing' which was originally transmitted on the BBC Home Service in August 1960 and was awarded the 'Prix d'Italia' for radio documentary in October 1960. See CD recording of the third radio ballad. Accompanying written production documentation of the third radio ballad is at MS 4000/2/78. |
