Women will not agree with me and I have to be careful here because as far as Line dance is concerned, our species is definitely outnumbered. And I have often wondered why. The harsh reality of life points out that men die first. I don’t like that bit very much but it is true. And, of course, our ladies have to find something to do from all the pampering and looking after us they did when we were around (yeah, right!). So, off they trot to a Line dance class after we’ve gone and that kind of explains why there are so many Line dancing females about. But does it? Because, you see, I also know lots of girls who are married and hubby just refuses to follow. Now, I wonder what it is that really stops most males tripping the light fantastic with their lovely wives. Is it because men need a break from all this marital bliss? Is it because men are addicted to making hooch in their sheds at night or is it because, for most blokes, the idea of dancing alone is well... unthinkable. Ridiculous even. So let me ask this question. Are men more likely to suffer from preconceived notions than women? Men are from Mars, Women from Venus apparently and nowhere more so than on a dance floor. I mean, can you imagine a spot of ballroom dancing with two men waltzing together in the middle of a floor? See, you are laughing at the idea...and yet, when two women foxtrot together, no one bats an eyelid. If Joseph and Douglas were to suddenly get up, hold each other and start intricate footwork together on ‘Begin the Beguine’ the room would be in uproar. Even in 2013! So well, then, that’s it! Men don’t Line dance or even dance as much as women because they think it hurts their street cred. Whatever that may be. Foolish? Probably? Will it ever change? Probably not. Unless someone finds a way to make it really attractive to blokes. Good luck with that one. I also know many men who just don’t care and dance very well. But although there are quite a few around, the fact remains that classes are women driven, women mad and women bound. Dance able men are an exception. Not a rule. So is there a way forward? Err... don’t think so really. Because the fact remains that men, in general, are not very much in tune with their own bodies. We are afraid of looking silly, stupid and will only dance with a few pints inside us. So unless we are all ready to get drunk three times a week for our Line dance lessons, it seems that the solution, for now anyway, is to continue as we are. And the only thing I would like to change, really change, as a man is the dying first bit. scan me www.linedancermagazine.com www.linedancermagazine.com August 2013 • 3 dear dancers.indd 1 25/07/2013 14:23 No Angels Glitz and Glamour Weekend, Blackpool Just back from a GREAT WEEKEND at Tiffany’s Hotel in Blackpool Blackpool...

  • 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.

  • ALBUM NOTES the Tour Continues As the Journey Unfolds
    ALBUM NOTES The tour continues as the journey unfolds. I consider myself very fortunate to have new generations coming to hear the songs. Many of these listeners were not even born when I first began recording some of these tracks. Many enquire about a collection of the most popular songs. This collection has been gathered from gigs recorded over the past 3 years. It features new versions of the most requested songs. They were recorded at 17 different venues in Ireland, England and Scotland. Its been a fulfilling project, comparing different versions, hearing old songs with new arrangements and different musicians.. Its a great buzz for me…. to have such great listeners, to be still out here “On The Road“. FIRST HALF: 1 2 Ordinary Man Ride On Written by Peter Hames in the early 1980s, this song came to This was the title song of my most popular studio album me on a cassette tape as I left the Winter Gardens, Cleethorpes which was recorded in Killarney in 1985.

From the late eighteenth century onwards self-taught Scottish poets offered a vigorous alternative to the literary mainstream. Autodidacts explored both oral and literary styles and genres, utilising a wide frame of reference to express their unique experiences and ideas. Diversity of poetic voice characterises autodidactic poets, including Robert Burns, Janet Little, Allan Cunningham, Alexander Anderson and James Young Geddes.
