  • Investigating the Health of the UK Folk Club Dr Stephen Henderson Senior
    Investigating the health of the UK folk club Dr Stephen Henderson Senior Lecturer Leeds Metropolitan University UK Centre for Events Management Room 216 Bronte Hall Headingley Campus Leeds LS6 3QS United Kingdom Telephone: 0113 812 5514 Email: [email protected] Abstract This research addresses the conflicting views of the health of folk music by way of interviewing artists, agents, and folk club organisers/promoters. Exploring the more homogenous formats of performance observed as singarounds (including sessions), ‘open mic’ and concert clubs, it is concluded that the concert club is struggling to survive whilst the other formats are still offering opportunities to folk artists. However, the latter are finding both the formal venues such as arts centres and the emergence of young promoters provides compensatory opportunities for performance. 1. Aim of Research For many years, folk clubs have provided places of congregation for those of like musical mind to discuss, perform, enjoy and share their music. This paper explores the state of health found within the UK folk club scene where the phrase ‘folk revival’ seems to be mentioned as often as concerns are raised about the future of the folk club. In considering the state of the folk club, this work concentrates on the business models represented by different folk club formats and their relative health as opposed to the complex ethnomusicology behind the folk music format. 2. Methodology In order to address the health of the folk club, the author has interviewed twelve individuals including the artists who play these clubs, agents who book out the artists across the many venues and organisers/promoters who book the artists into these venues.

  • The Creative Process in the Writing of Contemporary English Folk Songs a Study Submitted in Partial Fulfillm
    Come write me down: the creative process in the writing of contemporary English folk songs A study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at The University of Sheffield by Eleanor Thornton September 2007 Abstract This research was inspired by the lyrics of two anti-war songs written by folk artists during the Vietnam War. They were set in the age of privateering and in the First World War rather than being written from the point of view of soldiers serving in Vietnam. This led to the question of how the idea to set their songs in another era occurred to them and whether they were then concerned with the historical accuracy of the content. The investigation focuses on aspects of the creative process in the writing of English folk song. Paper based research is used to discuss folk song writers from the revival of the 1960s, with particular focus on the work of Ewan MacColl and the Radio Ballads. This provides a frame of reference for the work of the modern song writers, discussed using the field research results, and a comparison of the subject matter that is covered by the respective artists. It examines where the initial ideas for songs come from and what inspires the writer to continue with that idea and complete the song. It looks at what the important aspects of the song are in terms of how they are formed and how the lyrics and tune work together to make the whole. The question of authenticity is also discussed, although the notions of authenticity that emerged from the study were different to those originally envisaged.
