  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

    BAUER DIGITAL RADIO LIMITED An application to Ofcom for a local DAB digital radio multiplex licence to serve North & West Cumbria Part A – Public Section September 2019 Executive summary Please provide a summary of your application, of no more than four pages in length. 1. Bauer Digital Radio, a subsidiary of Bauer Radio, is pleased to submit an application for a local DAB digital radio multiplex to serve North & West Cumbria (‘BDR Cumbria’), bringing a combination of established and respected local and branded radio services. 2. When designing its coverage plans, BDR was cognisant of the coverage of the national multiplexes and existing neighbouring local multiplexes, and Ofcom's plans for small scale multiplexes in the area. Whilst Digital One covers parts of North & West Cumbria, Sound Digital does not and there are no plans to expand coverage to the area. In addition, Ofcom has identified two small scale polygons in North & West Cumbria which will provide opportunities for community and localised commercial services. As such, BDR has focused on delivering a North & West Cumbria multiplex that will enable existing analogue services in the area to broadcast on DAB and for a range of branded services to broaden choice, catering for a wide range of tastes and interests. 3. BDR Cumbria’s proposal is to launch with 13 services: 4. Capacity has been allocated to accommodate existing local analogue services from launch - BBC Radio Cumbria and CFM. These services collectively account for 26.3% of total radio listening in the CFM TSA. 190908 Public Part A - Bauer Digital Radio - Cumbria Application.docx Page 2 5.

  • ED Profile Egremont North and St Bees2
    Egremont North and St Bees Electoral Division Profile 2017 Overview of Electoral Division Egremont North & St Bees is an electoral division within the district of Copeland covering the villages of St Bees, Bigrigg, Moor Row and the west side of Mirehouse, Whitehaven. It also includes land and the coast line from just north of Coulderton, along to St Bees Head and around to Saltom Bay to meet up with the electoral division of Kells and Sandwith. Bigrigg with a population of 1,200 people sits on the A595 leading from Whitehaven to Egremont, surrounded by farmland and watered by the River Ehen. Deep hollows in the area attest to iron ore mining as far back as medieval times. Moor Row is a residential community of 400 homes, situated between Whitehaven and Egremont on Cumbria’s coastal plain. The history of Moor Row goes back to at least 1762, but it was the 19th century discovery of iron ore in the vicinity that built the “row of houses on a moor”. Cornish tin miners moved here to work the mines, and their presence is noted in a number of street names such as Penzance Street. Moor Row is on the route of the extremely popular Coast to Coast walk and Sustrans cycle path. The village of St Bees is just south of St Bees Head, the most westerly point of Cumbria, 50 miles from the Scottish border. It’s a small friendly community with a population of about 1,800. It has a history going back 1.000 years and has been a popular holiday destination for over 150 years.

  • Muxco Cumbria Limited
    MuxCo Cumbria Limited An application to Ofcom for a Morecambe Bay local DAB digital radio multiplex Part A – Public Section September 2019 Executive summary Please provide a summary of your application, of no more than four pages in length. MuxCo Cumbria 1. MuxCo Cumbria Ltd (‘MuxCo’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in Morecambe Bay and South Cumbria (hereafter referred to as ‘Morecambe Bay’). 2. MuxCo Cumbria has two shareholders who have significant analogue and digital radio experience, through multiplex ownership and broadcasting - MuxCo Ltd and Nation Broadcasting Ltd. 3. MuxCo has been reviewing options to bring local DAB to Cumbria for several years. The acquisitions by Global Radio of Lakeland Radio and Bay Radio in 2018 created a catalyst for a viable multiplex to launch, with two radio groups providing the leading local commercial services across Cumbria. 4. The recent decision by Ofcom to split the county into several multiplex blocks, as well as identify opportunities for up to five small scale multiplexes to be licensed to serve the county, increases the complexities of planning local DAB for the county, as well as impacting the underlying business model. 5. However, we are pleased to submit a proposal to bring local DAB to Morecambe Bay within 12 months of award with 9 services, which includes a mix of established local and national services, as well as new local services to DAB: 6. Capacity has been allocated to accommodate existing local analogue services from launch - BBC Radio Cumbria, Heart and Smooth. These services collectively account for 15.2% of total radio listening in Morecambe Bay.
