The The Compleat History 1983 – 2013 by Steve & Diane Poole “Your Ram Needs Ewe!” Greyhound Folk Club, Weston Green October 1983 - January 1985 Hand and Spear Folk Club, Weybridge February 1985 - September 1987 Ram Club, Foley Arms, Claygate October 1987 – December 2008 Ram Club,Old Cranleighan Club January 2009 - present Thames Ditton www.theramclub.co.uk Pre-Ramble The Ram Folk Club has run most Fridays (give or take the odd Christmas, Good Fridays and Augusts) since October 1983. This updated archive celebrates our 30 years of our existence as an epicentre of Folk and Acoustic music. None of us remember much of the very early days, but gradually more bits and pieces have come to light. When we originally put together this archive for our 20th birthday we were a bit stuck! Like the Dead Sea Scrolls, the ancient papyrus of the early gospels and pronouncements of who did what when got lost somewhere along the way. Typewriters of the day did not have memories, less so the scribes. And then - that flash of inspiration! We remembered that we have always advertised in Folk London. Sheila Finn, the editor at the time, very kindly went through all the back issues to tell us who our guests had been, and we are eternally grateful for her efforts. Updating the last ten years has been easy, thanks to computers and our webmaster and IT expert Neil Poole. Now it’s all safely stored for future folkeologists to marvel at, and beamed to all corners of the earth and beyond. We have moved with the times too, and we now spread our missives via FaceBook, Twitter and our YouTube channel. We do have one foot in the past though, as we still use snail mail. You cannot escape! The club was started at the Greyhound pub in Weston Green in October 1983 by Brian and Jane Ravenhill, and continued for many successful years under their stewardship (with help from others), moving briefly to Weybridge before finding its home of over 20 years at the Foley Arms in 1987. That’s where we became the Ram Club, as Bob Wood explains elsewhere. What nights we had in that shed, crammed in like kippers in a smoke house (and it was a smoke house too, before the ban). Some nights it was so full you couldn’t move or breathe, and it’s a wonder there was room for the act. And then in late 2008 we had to go, butted out in the name of progress, as there was no room for us in the new inn planned by Youngs Brewery. So began a frantic search for a new home! Fortunately we found our present home, the Old Cranleighan Club, fairly soon (with a little help from our friends) and we’ve been very happy here since January 2009. The club is now run by Bob and Maggie Wood with help from a small but enthusiastic herd of regulars. We don’t have a committee, it just ‘happens’. If you would like to help, just let us know. We have a loyal and evolving clientele (you) and, we like to think, a great atmosphere. We hope you agree it’s amazing to see the sheer variety of guests who have been to the club, many of whom are still going and quite a few who got lost along the way or have sadly left us. Meanwhile we look forward as ever to many more ‘unforgettable’ nights to come. Thank you for your support. Keep coming! Steve Poole, on behalf of all the Ram crew In The Beginning any Light-Ales ago, at the dawn of Drinking-Up Time, early Ram Man finally pulled himself erect from the primeval soup that was the previous night’s Watney’s. Full of remorse he saw the error of his ways and espied the golden goodness of the Real Ale of Youngs. T’was born of the spirit of the Ram God and imbued with its virtue and virility, so he drank with relish and it was good. Empowered thus, Ram Man discovered that his regaled tales of daring-do and brave deeds of yesteryore were better applauded in the form of lilting song. And in the courtship of fair maidens, t’was also true. The Ballad was born, and the fair maidens wailed with joy (or so he thought) as he serenaded them. Whilst idly twanging the string of his leaned-on longbow, he noticed that the beat suited the song and so came the guitar (and some have kept that same sound, ‘tis true to say). And his kinsmen put fingers to ear “for better to hear the sound” (or so they said). And he likewise did the same, as did many who followed, and each line of each song was begun with the sheep cry “Neeaarghh”! Ram Man clad himself with a woolly jumper with beard to match and The Tradition was born. And the Ram God was pleased and he declared Friday to be Ramday. So it was then and so it is now, although our musical prowess has evolved with the years (or so we think) ……… all under the ever-watchful gaze of our magnificent Ram ….

    “I am one of the last of a small tribe of troubadours who still believe that life is a beautiful and exciting journey with a purpose and grace well worth singing about.” E Y Harburg Purpose + Grace started as a list of songs and a list of possible guests. It is a wide mixture of material, from a traditional song I first heard 50 years ago, other songs that have been with me for decades, waiting to be arranged, to new original songs. You stand in a long line when you perform songs like this, you honour the ancestors, but hopefully the songs become, if only briefly your own, or a part of you. To call on my friends and peers to make this recording has been a great pleasure. Turning the two lists into a coherent whole was joyous. On previous recordings I’ve invited guest musicians to play their instruments, here, I asked singers for their unique contributions to these songs. Accompanying song has always been my favourite occupation, so it made perfect sense to have vocal and instrumental collaborations. In 1976 I had just released my first album and had been picked up by a heavy, old school music business manager whose avowed intent was to make me a star. I was not averse to the concept, and went straight from small folk clubs to opening shows for Steeleye Span at the biggest halls in the country. Early the next year June Tabor asked me if I would accompany her on tour. I was ecstatic and duly reported to my manager, who told me I was a star and didn’t play for other people.

  • Sound Recording in the British Folk Revival: Ideology, Discourse and Practice, 1950–1975

    Sound Recording in the British Folk Revival: Ideology, Discourse and Practice, 1950–1975

    Sound recording in the British folk revival: ideology, discourse and practice, 1950–1975 Matthew Ord Submitted in fulfilment of the degree of PhD International Centre for Music Studies Newcastle University March 2017 Abstract Although recent work in record production studies has advanced scholarly understandings of the contribution of sound recording to musical and social meaning, folk revival scholarship in Britain has yet to benefit from these insights. The revival’s recording practice took in a range of approaches and contexts including radio documentary, commercial studio productions and amateur field recordings. This thesis considers how these practices were mediated by revivalist beliefs and values, how recording was represented in revivalist discourse, and how its semiotic resources were incorporated into multimodal discourses about music, technology and traditional culture. Chapters 1 and 2 consider the role of recording in revivalist constructions of traditional culture and working class communities, contrasting the documentary realism of Topic’s single-mic field recordings with the consciously avant-garde style of the BBC’s Radio Ballads. The remaining three chapters explore how the sound of recorded folk was shaped by a mutually constitutive dialogue with popular music, with recordings constructing traditional performance as an authentic social practice in opposition to an Americanised studio sound equated with commercial/technological mediation. As the discourse of progressive rock elevated recording to an art practice associated with the global counterculture, however, opportunities arose for the incorporation of rock studio techniques in the interpretation of traditional song in the hybrid genre of folk-rock. Changes in studio practice and technical experiments with the semiotics of recorded sound experiments form the subject of the final two chapters.

    The Matthews Baartmans Conspiracy Singer Songwriter Iain Matthews

    The Matthews Baartmans Conspiracy Singer songwriter Iain Matthews and guitarist/singer songwriter/producer BJ Baartmans met in 2003, shortly after the former had relocated to the south of Holland. BJ was accompanying touring American singer songwriter, Eugene Ruffolo in a local music cafe and the two were introduced after the show. A mutual respect for each other’s talents developed and they have been playing and recording together more or less since then. Mostly in the all Dutch lineup of Matthews Southern Comfort, which they formed together in 2005. Releasing three albums and touring extensively throughout Europe. It's a natural habitat for both musicians who each have a long and rich history in the music world, as a solo act or bandmember: Matthews worked with ao Fairport Convention, Matthews Southern Comfort, Plainsong, More Than A Song. Baartmans worked with a long list of Dutch and international acts like Oh Susanna, Jeff Finlin, David Corley. Amy Speace, Cara Luft [ distant chatter] When last years pandemic forced all performers off the road, the two began writing together in earnest and made plans to record and tour as a duo once curfews were lifted. Calling themselves ‘The Matthews Baartmans conspiracy’, a year and half and seventeen tunes later, their new album titled Distant Chatter and it’s accompanying EP Close Call will be available from September 15, 2021. It's a collection of rootsy americana songs with an adventurous, gritty and colorful side to it. Intruiging harmonies and ear catching hooklines. Matthews and Baartmans call it “an album that had no other option than to be made”.

I showed him the Kriwaczek String Organ I had with Plainsong rehearsal photographs by Harry Isles sitting in drummer John Pearson’s kitchen in Bruton Place, having a cup me (a unique stringed instrument, designed by a great friend of mine, of of tea with John, Dave Richards and Paul, when Andy Rochford phoned up which I was at that time the sole exponent!), and then we began playing to ask if Paul could possibly return to Southampton to fetch him.
