Representations of Rural England in Contemporary Folk Song
Representations of Rural England in Contemporary Folk Song Heather Skinner Institute of Place Management, UK [email protected] Purpose: This paper explores aural representations of the countryside and English rurality through the contemporary cultural product of folk song. Methodology: A textual analysis was undertaken of the sleeve notes and lyrics of Steve Knightley, songwriter and founder member of the folk/roots band Show of Hands. Findings: The concept of the rural idyll is thoroughly debunked in the majority of these lyrics. Many songs make specific reference to place, and these, in the main, focus on the historical and contemporary hardships of living in rural England, in many cases also making explicit reference to the historical or contemporary social issues deemed by the lyricist to be at the root of the problems faced by people living in English rural communities. Research limitations: This article analyses data obtained in lyrics of only one songwriter within only one music genre, but the artist is one of the most respected within the contemporary folk genre, and Show of Hands have won a number of prestigious nationally recognised folk awards. Originality/value: The extant literature contains little concerning aural representations of place identities through song. The contribution this paper makes is therefore in presenting a conceptual framework that shows how folk song, as a contemporary cultural product contributes to the construction and communication of rural place identities. Keywords: Country life; Show

The First Benefit Concert for the Alan Surtees Trust Took Place in the Fabulous Adam Ballroom at the Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury on 10Th January 2020
The first benefit concert for the Alan Surtees Trust took place in the fabulous Adam Ballroom at the Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury on 10th January 2020. The room was full, tickets had sold out soon after the concert was announced shortly after the festival last August. Getting artists of the calibre of John Jones, Steve Knightley, Phil Beer, Hannah James and Grace Petrie onto the same bill for an evening concert is testimony not only to the purpose of the trust but also to the standing of Alan himself. All the artists gave their time for free. The concert was introduced and compared by Dave Cowing, the chairman of the trust and a friend of Alan for over 30 years. First to perform was Hannah James. She had known Alan since first performing at the festival aged 14 when a member of Kerfuffle. Alan had encouraged Hannah to develop her ideas around music and dance. She instigated the idea of the trust soon after Alan passed away and emailed her friends to help make it happen. For this gig, Hannah had flown over specially from a winter sojourn in Slovenia. Perched on a chair, Hannah played a piano accordion almost as large as herself. She began with a song from that first set with Kerfuffle and continued with some tunes, two yodelling songs she learnt from Austrian friends and finished with a very moving song she wrote last year about the shootings in a school in Florida: "... friends fly high and dreams run deep ...". The second part of the first half saw Phil Beer join Steve Knightley to re-form the original Show of Hands duo for one evening only.

Put together a band with a mission to play for folk dance in all its forms without front or frills, one of the best local callers up for a work out, and a room which includes a fair smattering of genuine enthusiasts ready to sweat, a great night. Last year we were booked back at the end of the evening, this year we were booked back at half time! Nuff said. Happy New Year 2008. 2-5 January 2008 Bill and Sheila visit Lisbon, a few days away to recover from festivity. we visited the Museum of Fado,a great introduction to the history of Fado, and the Museum of Musical Instruments which takes visitors on a journey around the EU by reference to its traditional music and instruments, very well done. We visited the Museum of Marionettes, and at the flea market met an accordion enthusiast who repairs and teaches melodeon, (accordion diatonique), and chromatic button accordion.

Made in Dorset…
This article originally appeared in Dorset magazine in July 2006. Made in Dorset… Steve Knightley, of acclaimed folk duo Show of Hands, talks to Sophie Atherton about the band’s Dorset roots and his love of the county. As I drive to meet Steve Knightley I try to avoid thinking about his talent for song writing, singing, musicianship and storytelling. I think it’s the storytelling bit that worries me most, because telling stories is a journalist’s bread and butter. Steve’s ability in this department is nothing short of captivating. It is what hooks you about Show of Hands. As much as the absorbing music made by he and his rhythm pal Phil Beer, it is the tales of poachers, farmers, ex-soldiers, kids growing up in seaside towns desperate to get away from places that are dead in the winter, love-stricken Portland clergymen and mysterious, ghostly characters roaming the racecourses and betting shops of England that make you want to hear more. But when I arrive (late), he is an ordinary, friendly bloke who asks if I’d like a cup of tea and something to eat. Phew. He orders a pot of tea for two and a toasted teacake and we get down to business. Although he was brought up in Devon, in the coastal town of Exmouth, Steve has had a strong connection with Dorset since childhood. ‘My mother was evacuated there in wartime,’ he tells me, ‘we used to go back and stay at the farm near Bettiscombe where she’d stayed and I’ve been going back to West Dorset ever since.’ It is also a place of musical roots for Steve, in more ways than one; he played one of his first gigs at a folk club in Shave Cross in the Marshwood Vale when he was just 15, then after spending several years on the ‘London rock and roll scene’ he decided he wanted to move to the country and in 1986 ended up back in the area of his childhood visits.
