It is based on the Welsh-based Gorsedd, which was founded by Iolo Morganwg in 1792. An important part of the open Gorsedh is the awarding of bardships to individuals for meritorious work for Cornish culture. Thus the Gorsedh acts in many ways as a form of "honours system". Bardships are awarded for study in the Cornish language, services to Cornish music and encouraging the arts amongst other things. Initiate Bards are given Bardic names by the Grand Bard who welcomes them into the College of Bards. These names are in Cornish and will often refer somehow to the reason for their bardship: other Bardic names refer to the Bard's personal or family name, or describe the Bards themselves. This 2013 ceremony features our archivist, Pam Lomax receiving her bardship. 9 Newlyn Fishing Village Title: Fishing Village Description: A short film about a fishing village, Newlyn Maker: Pathe 1946 News Runtime: 2 mins Date: 1946 Points of Interest: Views from above Newlyn Harbour.

  • Chapter 10 Digi-Folk and the Cyber-Celts
    Link to thesis website Chapter 10: Digi-Folk and Cyber-Celts Chapter 10: Digi-Folk and Cyber-Celts: the demise of the folk process or a new location? In considering contemporary locations for oral folk tradition in Cornwall, the impact of new communication technologies and the development of the internet invite examination. Do the digital worlds of easy access to recording and recording technology, global communication and the advent of the “Network Society” represent a new location for the folk process or its demise? Commentators such as Jones1, Barney2 and Robins3 observe that although the internet and associated information technologies are hailed as the information revolution, the cultural and technological foundation for this are embedded in the past. This chapter takes the position that the internet, although characterised by a novel interactivity, is part of a process of developing communications, which can be traced back through analogue recording technologies, television, the radio to the invention of the printing press and ultimately the written text. For much of the twentieth century folk tradition was embraced by a counter cultural, counter technological discourse, it is argued here, however, that information technology was, and is, an essential ingredient that fuelled the actual process of oral folk tradition. The folk process is thus a social phenomenon that will be encouraged rather than made obsolescent by the multiplex and interactive communication opportunities offered by the internet. This chapter considers the impact of new information technologies on folk tradition. It looks at whether increased interconnectivity has changed communities and the way in which they engage with the process of folk tradition.

  • Summary of Sensory Team Manager Duties
    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

  • It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”
    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.
