  • Christy Moore and the Irish Protest Ballad
    “Ordinary Man”: Christy Moore and the Irish Protest Ballad MIKE INGHAM Introduction: Contextualizing the Modern Ballad In his critical study, The Long Revolution, Raymond Williams identified three definitions of culture, namely idealist, documentary, and social. He conceives of them as integrated strands of a holistic, organic cultural process pertaining to the “common associative life”1 of which creative artworks are an inalienable part. His renowned “structure of feeling” concept is closely related to this theoretical paradigm. The ballad tradition of popular and protest song in many ethnic cultural traditions exemplifies the core of Williams’s argument: it synthesizes the ideal aesthetic of the traditional folk song form as cultural production, the documentary element of the people, places, and events that the song records and the contextual resonances of the ballad’s source and target cultures. Likewise, the persistence and durability of the form over many centuries have ensured its survival as a rich source for ethnographic studies and an index of prevailing socio-political conditions and concerns. As twentieth-century commentators on the Anglophone ballad form, such as A. L. Lloyd, have observed, there is an evident distinction between the older ballad tradition, tending toward a more impersonal and distanced voice and perspective, and the more personal style of ballad composed after the anthropological research of ethnomusicologists such as Cecil Sharp, Alan Lomax, and others during the first half of the twentieth century. The former derives from a continuous lineage of predominantly anonymous or unattributed folk material that can be said to reside in the public domain, and largely resists recuperation or commodification by the music industry.

MILLAR School of History, Anthropology, Politics, and Philosophy, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland BT7 1NN, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract Irish rebel songs afford Scotland’s Irish diaspora a means to assert, experience, and perform their alterity free from the complexities of the Irish language. Yet this benign intent can be offset by how the music is perceived by elements of Scotland’s majority Protestant population. The Scottish Government’s Offensive Behaviour Act (2012) has been used to prosecute those singing Irish rebel songs and there is continuing debate as to how this alleged offence should be dealt with.

  • The Mostly Celtic Songbook
    The Mostly Celtic Songbook Mostly Celtic Songbook 2 Introduction After sitting in on some of the former Tuesday evening open seisiúns at C.B. Hannegan’s in Los Gatos, and trying to sing along but not remembering the lyrics, it seemed like a good idea to compile a songbook that we could all potentially share. After one or two pints and a few encouraging words from Tony Becker, the idea became a project. So, here it is. In retrospect, it turned out to be more helpful to me than to the group, as most continued to use their own song collections. But at least I got most of the more frequently played songs together in one handy document, in keys that I can actually sing (the “suggested key”). It was well worth the effort, and a great way to learn the songs. In some cases, I took the liberty of editing some of the traditional lyrics for readability and sing-ability, especially the lyrics I got from the Web, and adding or changing a few chords, since many of the songs exist in several different versions anyway. Thanks to YouTube, I was able to correct a lot of mistakes. Some of the songs are still under copyright protection, so if I’ve given a wrong attribution, please send me a note so I can correct the error. A thousand apologies if that is the case. This book is intended for private use only, not for commercial publication. The chords are written in Nashville notation (well, sort of), so transposing is simple.
