Tom and Barbara Brown have sung together since the early 1970s and are fine ambassadors of West Country song, music and folklore. This Farming Life is a new show which combines silent and sound film, songs and the spoken word. At the instigation of Bill Grainger of Beaford Arts, Tom and Barbara have been working with the South West Film and Television Archive to produce a show which combines and integrates the various media in an unusual and entertaining way. From 1920s silent black and white film to modern songs such as Paul Wilson's Bampton Fair the show celebrates rural life in its many aspects.
