Barwick Green Totally Explained

Everything about Barwick Green totally explained

"Barwick Green" is the theme music to the long-running BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers. It is a "maypole dance" from the suite My Native Heath, written in 1924 by the Yorkshire composer Arthur Wood, and named after Barwick-in-Elmet.
The recording used between 1950 and the 1990s was played by Sidney Torch and his orchestra.
The Sunday omnibus broadcast of The Archers starts with a more rustic, accordion-arranged rendition by The Yetties.

Trivia

Comedian Billy Connolly has said that this tune should replace "God Save the Queen" as the national anthem of the United Kingdom.
Sidney Torch recorded a commercial release of "Barwick Green" in the 1950s but it wasn't used on The Archers itself. The 1954 version also included a four-movement piece called "A Village Suite" by movie and radio mood music composer Kenneth Pakeman.
