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. -

FOR CHILDREN IN NEED After being a Headteacher for 14 years, including five at Cockermouth School, Mr Walker is retiring from his post in December. During his time here he has made a great impact and his enthusiasm for education and commitment to the school have been appreciated by students and staff alike. Mr Walker was Deputy Head Boy during his own time at secondary school so it could be said that he got his first taste of school leadership early on! We interviewed Mr Walker to find out how he feels about retiring. How do you feel to be leaving Cockermouth School? Sad. I can’t imagine not spending full weeks with students, On Friday 14th November the eagle eyed residents of Cockermouth may well have caught a teachers, parents and governors – but having been a glimpse of Superman, Catwoman, Captain America, Robin and even a few Batmen walking Headteacher for 14 years, I feel it’s time to reacquaint myself (really?) up Castlegate Drive, had they twitched their net curtains around 8.30 am. with friends and family!
