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.

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.

Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Info Englisch.P65
The band grew out of the British folk band Fiddler’s Dram and their side project Oyster Coiled Band (Canterbury, 1976). The name Oyster comes from the group’s early association with the coastal town of Whitstable in East Kent, known for the Strong & Rooted! quality of its oysters. Their first album, released under the Oyster Ceilidh Band name, was Jack’s Alive (1978) on the Dingles record label. Subsequent albums, as Oyster Band (sometimes The Oyster Band) were released on the band’s own Pukka Music label. The first recorded line-up was: Cathy Lesurf - vocals; John Jones - melodeon, vocals; Alan Prosser - guitars, viola; Chris Taylor - guitar, bouzouki, harmonica, one-row melodeon, mandola; Ian Telfer - violin, English concertina; Chris Wood - bass guitar; Will Ward - bassoon, recorders, crumhorn, keyboards. By the time they recorded their fifth album as Oyster Band in 1986 (Step Out- side) the personnel had settled down to John Jones, Ian Kearey (a founder member, returning to play bass guitar), Alan Prosser, Russell Lax (drums) and Ian Telfer. Step Outside mixed self-penned songs, often with a political theme, with reworkings of traditional standards such as Hal-an-Tow. After the 1987 release Wide Blue Yonder Kearey left the band to be replaced by Chopper (real name Ray Cooper). Subsequent albums included Ride, Little Rock to Leipzig and the June Tabor collaboration Freedom and Rain. Following this the band name changed to Oysterband. Drummer Lee Partis replaced Russell Lax for 1992’s Deserters before Holy Bandits in 1993 propelled the band to the forefront of a booming folk rock scene alongside bands such as The Lev- ellers.
