    The Generations Tunebook Was Born of Necessity During the Course of an Educational Initiative Called, ‘The Generations Project’

    South Riding Folk Arts Network The Generations Tune Book Dance music from three centuries arranged for mixed ensembles compiled and designed by Paul Davenport The Generations Tune Book The Generations Tune Book Dance music from three centuries arranged for mixed ensembles compiled and designed by Paul Davenport South Riding Folk Arts Network © 2005 The Generations Tune Book Introduction The Generations Tunebook was born of necessity during the course of an educational initiative called, ‘The Generations Project’. The project itself was initially, a simple exercise in Citizenship in a large South Yorkshire comprehensive school. The motivation behind this was to place teenagers at the heart of their community. The results of this venture had repercussions which are still being felt in the small mining town of Maltby which lies in the borough of Rotherham, not far from Sheffield. In 2002, the music department at Maltby Comprehensive School in partnership with the South Riding Folk Arts Network set about the task of teaching a group of 13 and 14 years old students the longsword dance. In this undertaking much support and encouragement was given by the national folk organisation, the English Folk Dance & Song Society. A group of students learned the dance whilst others learned to play the tunes to accompany the performance. Financial support from the school’s PTA allowed Head of Art, Liz Davenport, to create the striking costumes worn by the dancers. More support appeared in the form of folk arts development agency Folk South West who generously discounted their ‘College Hornpipe’ tunebook for the project. Players of orchestral instruments suddenly found themselves being extended by the apparently ‘simple’ melodies arranged by Paul Burgess.

  • 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 project was led by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and in partnership with other cultural partners across England. The Full English digital archive (www.vwml.org) continues to provide access to thousands of records detailing traditional folk songs, music, dances, customs and traditions that were collected from across the country. Some of these are known widely, others have lain dormant in notebooks and files within archives for decades.

    1 Traditional Song Forum Meeting, 12 Apr 2014 Held at Central Library, Plymouth the Meeting Was Held at the Central Library

    Traditional Song Forum Meeting, 12 Apr 2014 Held at Central Library, Plymouth The meeting was held at The Central Library, Plymouth and was chaired by Paul Wilson. The meeting was arranged jointly with the Music Section of the Devonshire Association and with Plymouth City Library. Seven TSF members attended the morning session. The number swelled to twenty-six as a number of local guests joined us for the afternoon talks. The low numbers were due, in part, to the difficulties arising from the storm damage to the rail network in the Southwest. Following a welcome from the Plymouth Library team, and an outline of arrangements for the day by Alan Rosevear, the session was opened by Paul Wilson. Given the relatively small numbers of people present it was agreed that the opportunity would be taken for Martin Graebe to give those attending a guided tour of the Baring-Gould manuscripts and other items that the Library had put on display, as well as their permanent collection of his published books. Networking Session Gwilym Davies gave an update on the Gloucester Traditions project that he had talked about at the December meeting. The aim is to get as many of the songs that have been collected in Gloucestershire onto their website and then to use the material in a series of outreach projects. They are working in partnership with Gloucestershire Archives and Gloucestershire Music makers (The county music provider). Their bid to the National Lottery has now been submitted. They will be using the ABC format for digitising the tunes. An important part of the work – and a technical term new to most of those present – was ‘de-duping’.

To decline under such circum- stances, he said, would have been “snotty.” Don’t More importantly, he conceives of his MBE as recognition he shares with the whole Call Me folk scene. “I’ve been put at the front of a very, very long queue of people who work hard to make a folk revival and a folk scene,” he said. Sir! “All those people who organized clubs for nothing and paid you out of their own pocket, and fed you and put you on the train the next morning, and put you to bed when you were drunk! What [the government is] doing, is taking notice of the fact that something’s going on for the last more than 40 years. It’s called the folk revival. They’ve ignored it for that long. And someone has suddenly taken notice, and that’s okay. A bit of profile isn’t gonna hurt us — and I say us, the plural, for the folk scene — isn’t gonna hurt us at all.” In the same year as Carthy’s moment of recognition, something happened that did hurt the folk scene. Lal Waterson, Carthy’s sister-in- law, bandmate, near neighbor and close friend, died of cancer.
