Description
Largely overshadowed by the presence of John Powell and later Richard Chase, Annabel Morris Buchanan was the animating spirit of the White Top Folk Festival.
"Nationwide publicity about the White Top Folk Festival in newspapers and magazines helped to make Buchanan a well-known public figure. It allowed her to meet many composers, musicians, critics, writers, and folklorists. The name White Top came to symbolize Buchanan to the general public, to other folklorists,and even to herself.She often spoke of her 'White Top work', referring to all of her many activities in the sphere of folklore."
