  • Folk for Art's Sake: English Folk Music in the Mainstream Milieu
    Volume 4 (2009) ISSN 1751-7788 Folk for Art’s Sake: English Folk Music in the Mainstream Milieu Simon Keegan-Phipps University of Sheffield The English folk arts are currently undergoing a considerable resurgence; 1 practices of folk music, dance and drama that explicitly identify themselves as English are the subjects of increasing public interest throughout England. The past five years have seen a manifold increase in the number of professional musical acts that foreground their Englishness; for the first time since the last 'revival period' of the 1950s and 60s, it is easier for folk music agents to secure bookings for these English acts in England than Scottish and Irish (Celtic) bands. Folk festivals in England are experiencing greatly increased popularity, and the profile of the genre has also grown substantially beyond the boundaries of the conventional 'folk scene' contexts: Seth Lakeman received a Mercury Music Awards nomination in 2006 for his album Kitty Jay; Jim Moray supported Will Young’s 2003 UK tour, and his album Sweet England appeared in the Independent’s ‘Cult Classics’ series in 2007; in 2003, the morris side Dogrose Morris appeared on the popular television music show Later with Jools Holland, accompanied by the high-profile fiddler, Eliza Carthy;1 and all-star festival-headliners Bellowhead appeared on the same show in 2006.2 However, the expansion in the profile and presence of English folk music has 2 not been confined to the realms of vernacular, popular culture: On 20 July 2008, BBC Radio 3 hosted the BBC Proms

  • Winter Beacon 2010
    Burrator BEACON Winter 2010 A snowy Sheepstor, January 2010 photo: Bev Mears 2 Burrator Beacon Editorial Jenny Sharp Welcome to the Winter Edition of the Beacon. As I write this, it is cold but sunny afternoon and the frost is still there where the sun has not reached it. Snow is forecast much to the excitement of the children but not the grownups who have to try and get on with important things like getting to work and doing the shopping! There is some information about driving in winter conditions on page 13. Yes it is common sense but it is always worth checking what you have in your car – did you eat that chocolate that was there for emergencies? Whatever the weather, winter is here and that means the traditional Carol Concerts and Services in our Churches (page 15), Pantomime time (oh yes it is on page 7) and winter walks (page 11). Details of all events over the next few months can be found throughout this edition, keep the Dates for your Calendar on page 23 as a handy reminder. Also in this edition you will find information about the proposed Conservation area for Walkhampton (page 6) and details of the emerging Burrator Parish Plan (page 12). This is your chance to inform those who might be able to do something about things – please take time to think about what is good about where we live and things that you grumble about. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and a good start to 2011.
