Towns, cities and regions, such as Yeovil have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune.
About Yeovil
Yeovil began as a Saxon village by a fork in a river. It was founded in the 8th century. The name Yeovil is believed to be a corruption of the Celtic word Gifl, meaning forked river. In time the Saxon village grew into a little town. By the time of the Domesday Book (1086) it was a flourishing community though it would seem tiny to us with a population of nor more than 1,000. Givle, as it was then known, had a weekly market.
