'''The Ballad of Midsomer County''' is the third episode of the seventeenth series of ''Series/MidsomerMurders'' and first aired 11th February 2015.
Folk festival organizer Toby Winning is found dead, his head held down in a bowl of water also containing eels and boiled eggs. His estranged wife Alice seems unconcerned, unlike co-organizer Brian Grey, who, with Toby, had been planning to move the festival from Lower Crosby to London - to the annoyance of local businessmen including pub landlord Frank Wainwright and sound engineer Danny Carver. Danny is also angry when his daughter Melody takes to the stage playing the guitar once owned by his brother Johnny, a famous folk singer who shot himself. Visiting musician Jay Templeton seems keen to help Melody's career but was expecting something from Toby. Two more deaths follow, both in the manner of murders in a local folk song and to solve them Barnaby must discover the importance of Johnny's lost recording of the Ballad of Midsomer County.

!!Tropes:
* CaughtOnTape: The killings all center around a murder accidentally recorded on a master tape 20 years earlier, with the master tape then being hidden.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Downplayed; Danny Carver isn't keen on his daughter Melody becoming a famous folk singer as he worries it will change her irrevocably, but he comes around at the end of the episode. Ironically, Johnny, Melody's ''real'' father, probably wouldn't have minded.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[VictimOfTheWeek Frank Wainwright]] is killed by having a beach umbrella thrust through his chest.
* IsThisThingStillOn: The murderer is accidentally CaughtOnTape when he commits a murder in a recording studio, not realising that the victim, Johnny Carver, had been recording at the time.
* PopStarComposer: Famous English folk singer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Lakeman Seth Lakeman]] wrote the titular ballad. It was even available to download at one point.
* ThemeSerialKiller: The killer leaves items associated with the eponymous folk song with the bodies of his victims.
