These are recordings of singers who seem to have been classed as 'new' singers in the folk revival movement. The recordings seem to be part of a sequence of tapes of which, from the surviving numbers, only part remains. Those surviving are nos. 6, 6/7, 11B/13, 16,17,18,19,21 and 22. Some of these singers, such as Sandra Kerr, Frankie Armstrong, John Faulkner, Jim O'Connor, Brian Pearson, were also members of the 'Critics Group'. For further recordings of them, see MS 4000/5/4/2.
