Volume One begins with a set of pipes from 2000 BC discovered in an Irish bog and follows the story of British music through invasions and religious and political upheavals up to the end of the eighteenth century. It shows the dominance of the Church and the monarchy giving way to promoters and managers whose motives were much more commercial.
