A process of documenting procedures and processes of our various activities has begun and this can only benefit a smoother running of the GFW in the future. Along the way, we have lost two of our long serving Board Members, Mike Turner and, Company Secretary, Cliff Uney. Both have moved onto pastures new and they are wished all success and heartfelt thanks by the GFW. I would also like to thank Frank Reid for stepping in immediately to take up the position of Company Secretary where he found himself right in the thick of it from the off! This year also saw a record number of members learning musical instruments at the GFW, peaking at more than 440 members for term three (breaking the previous year’s record). Extra classes were created, facilities had to be re-organised and, essentially, every classroom and bit of corridor space available to us is being used.

Female Folk Singers in the Media Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2020, 100 p. (JYU Dissertations ISSN 2489-9003; 176) ISBN 978-951-39-8003-0 (PDF) The aim of this dissertation is to show how the media representation of female folk singers is constructed. To find out what kinds of narratives emerge from it, it is important to understand that this media representation is based on processes of remembering and premediation. Methods of close reading and analysis were applied in examining concert and album reviews, interviews and articles written about four contemporary female folk singers: Julie Fowlis, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Emily Portman and Kate Rusby. The findings show how deeply embedded in cultural memory the presentation of a female folk singer is and how extensively it is used in constructing media representation of these singers.
