THE BIRD STAME SOCIETY G . e . .. .. .. .. ... .. ... x;. U . L1 HT . .. YE .. December 1998 .. i . \ . Vol.13 No.2 E 5 1B THE BIRD STAME SOCIETY g II I 1 I EDITORIAL MISCELLANY g Post BIRDPEX . 2 The last five or six issues of "Flight" have been enlivened by the business of BIRDPEX '98 its advance publicity, prospectus, lists of entries and awards, reports and a few pages illustrating a couple of the exhibits. That is just about behind us now, although the second extract from John Fosbery's intriguing display appears in this issue and l'm sure reminiscences from the exhibition will continue to crop up in § the pages of "Flight" for some time to come. David Cox has written a more measured article on the . subject of thematic collecting as a counterweight to my, perhaps provocative, feature in the September . .. .. issue and you will also find an interesting 'new start' in the form of a feature on Chris Gibbins' bird stamps website in these pages. I hope to be able to provide at least occasional features about stamps on the internet. l'm sure that there will be many more goodies from the regular contributors - although none of us can go on for ever - but it would be good now if a few members who have rarely if ever put in a piece did so from time to time. Why not have a go? lt need only be a letter with a query of some kind or drawing attention to something slightly out-of-the-way. But it can easily be rather more - perhaps a short feature on some aspect of your collecting or any extracts from your album or displays that might be . of interest to members. l can cope with most formats of text and illustration but give me a ring | .,| l .I beforehand if l can help in any way. l can't see any problem in producing a quarterly magazine of 40 to i 60 pages from present resources but "Flight" is almost the only connection the Society has with upwards of 200 members and it does really need some fresh authors to keep it lively. Thematic Stamp Albums Those who still have the March 1998 issue of "Flight" to hand are invited to look again at the feature entitled 'Bird Stamp Catalogue Project' in the Secretary's 'Newsbriefs' (p. 108) and at my publication of Mr Hoffmann's appeal for help in respect of birds of prey in the 'Philatelic World' feature (p. 115). Unfortunately none of us (apart from the Secretary) was able to offer any support - possibly because of the over-riding impact of BIRDPEX at the time, possibly for other reasons. The good news is that Mr I U .2 Hoffman's albums are now in publication and I have included a couple of pages about them later on in .l the magazine. He has written - " - - .to at the moment thematic collectors are using various ways and reference points to store their collections, which also makes communication between collectors at times very difficult. My vision is to create a unified basis for collection which is so broad that it leaves room for the individual collector to personalise his or her collection. The main Bird collection for example depicts in general the total sets which might contain only one or two bird stamps, and thereby leaving it up to the individual to collect just the theme stamps or to collect the whole sets. On the smaller themes like the 'birds of prey' and the 'owls' there will be in eachn case two versions available. One version will depict the complete sets which contain the thematic stamps and the other will only depict the thematic stamps." lt should be well worth a look. Apology I hope my proof-reading carelessness is not putting members off submitting articles for "Flight", I have to say sorry to both A.J.Dechant and Bruce Cruickshank for the loss into limbo of my final comments on nomenclature policy on page 9 of the last issue. The final paragraph should have read as follows: "(For a brief explanation of nomenclature policy in the "Flight" new issue listing I would refer you to my book review on page 210 of the last (June 1998) issue. Just now I am feeling very glad to have stuck to H&M (1980) because Bruce Cruickshank, who produces the 'Biophilately'? listing based on Clements, is finding the rate of change of structure there almost impossible to keep Up with and ruinous from the viewpoint of collectors' layouts.)"

December 1998 VoI.13 No. 2 FLIGHT Page 63 o NEWSBRIEFS By the Secretary As another year draws to a close it will be long remembered by me as one of the most successful in our short history. BIRDPEX was obviously the highlight of the year but a record number of new members, including juniors by the hatful, is also noted. We also lost one of our most senior, loyal and dedicated members in Tony Weatherley although I hasten to add that at the time of writing Tony is still in a nursing home. Packet News On behalf of our Packet Secretary (Tony Wise) I would like to pass on his thanks for the response to the plea for more books. We have gone from the 'sublime to the ridiculous' and Tony has received a large number of books in the past few weeks. Please don't .. .. .. stop at that though - the more the merrier! .. .. .. Auction As you will all be aware I took on the running of the last auction. I would like to thank all those (and there were several) members who wrote in with notes of appreciation and suggestions for the new rules. l know Tony Weatherley's efforts were also appreciated but it is nice to receive the odd compliment now and again. The additional rules added as a result of letters received and comments from the AGM are: For overseas members .to Bay by Giro. For overseas members to e giveni more time to pay as post sometimes takes 4-6 days. All vendor stock .to .be l.nsured y the vendor. Vendors' Commission Is 10%, The auction itself, for me, sprung a few surprises. I knew it was popular but I didn't know just how popular. I was amazed at the number of bidders (58), and the amounts members were prepared to pay for some items. I hope that the realisation list does not.contain too many typos! The only disappointing aspect was the fact that I had no junior bids whatsoever. A number of our juniors have resigned through either formal notification or failure to renew their subscriptions therefore l have decided to include a small Junior Section this time around.

  • The Revival of Manx Traditional Music
    The Revival of Manx Traditional Music: From the 1970s to the Present Day Chloë Woolley PhD University of Edinburgh 2003 STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP I hereby declare that I am the composer of this thesis and that the work is entirely my own. ................................................................ September 30th 2003 ii The Revival of Manx Traditional Music: From the 1970s to the Present Day ABSTRACT This thesis examines the revival and subsequent development of traditional music in the Isle of Man from the 1970s until the present day. Together with dance and the Gaelic language, the revival of Manx traditional music has contributed to the reevaluation of a Manx identity based upon traditional values and symbolism. Drawing on individual interviews, a comprehensive survey and primary source material, this thesis investigates the motivations, influences and ideology behind the revival. Issues of nationalism, individual and communal identities, Celticism, authenticity and the formation of cultural boundaries are all addressed in an analysis of the revivalist ideology, which has consequently dictated the standard repertoire and musical style of today. The structure of the study is based upon a theoretical model of musical revivalism designed by Tamara E. Livingston (1999:69): 1. an individual or small group of “core revivalists” 2. revival informants and/or original sources (e.g. historical sound recordings) 3. a revivalist ideology and discourse 4. a group of followers which form the basis of a revivalist community 5. revivalist activities (organizations, festivals, competitions) 6. non-profit and/or commercial enterprises catering to the revivalist market. Livingston’s model has been employed to ascertain whether the Manx music movement corresponds with the modern conception of the term ‘revival’ and therefore with the typical characteristics as documented in other cases.
