Representations of Rural England in Contemporary Folk Song
Representations of Rural England in Contemporary Folk Song Heather Skinner Institute of Place Management, UK [email protected] Purpose: This paper explores aural representations of the countryside and English rurality through the contemporary cultural product of folk song. Methodology: A textual analysis was undertaken of the sleeve notes and lyrics of Steve Knightley, songwriter and founder member of the folk/roots band Show of Hands. Findings: The concept of the rural idyll is thoroughly debunked in the majority of these lyrics. Many songs make specific reference to place, and these, in the main, focus on the historical and contemporary hardships of living in rural England, in many cases also making explicit reference to the historical or contemporary social issues deemed by the lyricist to be at the root of the problems faced by people living in English rural communities. Research limitations: This article analyses data obtained in lyrics of only one songwriter within only one music genre, but the artist is one of the most respected within the contemporary folk genre, and Show of Hands have won a number of prestigious nationally recognised folk awards. Originality/value: The extant literature contains little concerning aural representations of place identities through song. The contribution this paper makes is therefore in presenting a conceptual framework that shows how folk song, as a contemporary cultural product contributes to the construction and communication of rural place identities. Keywords: Country life; Show -

The First Benefit Concert for the Alan Surtees Trust Took Place in the Fabulous Adam Ballroom at the Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury on 10Th January 2020
The first benefit concert for the Alan Surtees Trust took place in the fabulous Adam Ballroom at the Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury on 10th January 2020. The room was full, tickets had sold out soon after the concert was announced shortly after the festival last August. Getting artists of the calibre of John Jones, Steve Knightley, Phil Beer, Hannah James and Grace Petrie onto the same bill for an evening concert is testimony not only to the purpose of the trust but also to the standing of Alan himself. All the artists gave their time for free. The concert was introduced and compared by Dave Cowing, the chairman of the trust and a friend of Alan for over 30 years. First to perform was Hannah James. She had known Alan since first performing at the festival aged 14 when a member of Kerfuffle. Alan had encouraged Hannah to develop her ideas around music and dance. She instigated the idea of the trust soon after Alan passed away and emailed her friends to help make it happen. For this gig, Hannah had flown over specially from a winter sojourn in Slovenia. Perched on a chair, Hannah played a piano accordion almost as large as herself. She began with a song from that first set with Kerfuffle and continued with some tunes, two yodelling songs she learnt from Austrian friends and finished with a very moving song she wrote last year about the shootings in a school in Florida: "... friends fly high and dreams run deep ...". The second part of the first half saw Phil Beer join Steve Knightley to re-form the original Show of Hands duo for one evening only. -
Intermixx Webzine Online Edition
by Noel Ramos I recently interviewed the lovely Quinn Lemley, a rather unique InterMixx mem- ber in that she performs a hybrid of jazz, cabaret and lounge music. INTERMIXX: Quinn, I am very pleased that you have joined InterMixx and are in- volved in our activities. Do you consider yourself an "indie" artist, and if so, how do you define indie? QUINN: Yes Noel, I am definitely an "Indie," so much of the jazz/cabaret/lounge community is these days with labels pulling back their support in our genre. The great thing about being an "Indie" is that I had the opportunity to create my own vision for each of my recordings. INTERMIXX: In your opinion, what are the main problems concerning indie musicians at this time? QUINN: Financing and Distribution. We are "the engine" for everything. INTERMIXX: Your style of music is still somewhat unique amongst our membership, and I commend you on your DIY attitude. Can you describe what you do for our readers? QUINN: Of course, I am a hybrid of lounge/jazz and caba- ret. Some of my music is a big band feel and others a small four piece combo, it's sultry, sexy, fun music. Sort of a cross between Keeley Smith, Ann-Margret and Julie London. INTERMIXX: Tell us more about your portrayal of Rita Hayworth, and how that came to happen. Was it largely because of your resemblance to the beauty queen? QUINN: You are a doll, yes, I was doing a musical off Broadway and a friend of mine, Preston Ridge saw it, and he said that I should do a musical about the life and music of Rita Hayworth because I resembled her. -
