  • Bush Dance’ Part 2
    1" " The Evolution of ‘Bush Dance’ part 2 By Peter Ellis Shirley Andrews didn’t formally use the term bush dance until the bicentennial year in 1988. But in a way she was earlier accredited with its use because of her original articles and folk dance descriptions in the Victorian Folk Music Club (VFMC) monthly journal “The Tradition”. This then led to her publication of ‘Take Your Partners’ in 1974, which formalised folk dance in Australia with descriptions and tune references in print. These had generally been made available via the earlier snippets in issues of ‘The Tradition’ (Vic). The late Shirley Andrews in good form Similarly there were details of some dances and tunes from time to time in the Bush Music Club’s (NSW) Singabout by their dancing fraternity. Shirley assembled her descriptions, information and music in the one publication in this subsequent edition of Take Your Partners (later in hard back). Frank Pitt of the VFMC provided most of the tunes Shirley used as these were trialled and in the repertoire of the Port Phillip Band that Frank was by then a key organiser. Some would have gone back to the early Vic. Singabout days from 1955 that Frank Nickels and Joy Durst organised. They arranged tune sheets for Singabout and for their new band simply referred to as the ‘bush band’ (or perhaps the Melbourne Bushwhackers) which they had put together for the return of Reedy River to Melbourne. It was based on the Sydney Bushwhackers after Frank and Joy had visited John Meredith in Sydney and then adopted the official name ‘Billabong’ in Victorian Bush Music Club’s Billabong band, circa 1959.

  • Dave and Maggie Hunt
    Citation for Dave and Maggie Hunt It is unlikely that the people assembled here in Abbots Bromley will not know of Dave and Maggie Hunt and have some appreciation of their status not only in the folk world but also on its fringes. This Gold Badge Award gives us the opportunity to look back on two varied careers that have, separately and together, brought richness to folk music and community arts over many years. It also provides the opportunity to learn things about the two of them that perhaps were not apparent because you’ve only came across them in one of their guises. In the words of a non-folk song, ‘Let’s start at the very beginning – a very good place to start!’ Like many of us, Dave came to folk music in the 50s via Skiffle, and given its relationship to American folk music there was a natural progression to English folk music and that of its neighbours. The CND marches of his youth also provided a basic repertoire, but early exposure, via work at the Edinburgh Festival, to the likes of Rae and Archie Fisher, Bobby Campbell and Gordie McCulloch, Hamish Imlach, Norman Kennedy, and more started to broaden his knowledge. As an early attendee in 1963 of Wolverhampton’s Giffard Folk Club (he went to its second meeting for the princely entrance donation of 6d – six old pence) he soon graduated to resident status and then on to the committee of a club that was the starting point for all manner of folk activity, as we will see.

  • Dance the Highland Fling
    Dance the Highland Fling Liina Flynn | 21st July 2011 When I was growing up, my Scottish grandmother taught me how to dance the Highland Fling. With arms flung above my head, I hopped on my feet moving one leg behind the other as I chanted “shed, behind, before, behind”. The footsteps of the dance were taught to me in an old chant that explained a pattern of fabric weaving and helped me to remember which steps came next. One theory about the Highland Fling is that it originated as a dance of triumph at the end of a battle; another says it was danced on top of a shield before battle, to ward away evil spirits. So, with highland dancing and its militaristic origins on my mind, I took my tartan heart and my (sort of) nimble feet and Scottish country dancing enthusiasts Judy Cook and Andrew Ross. went to learn more about Scottish dancing. When I arrived at a Scottish country dancing class in Lismore, rather than launching into a solo Highland Fling, I was prepared to take part in a group dancing lesson with guided instructions. I had heard about the formal Scottish dance „The Gay Gordons‟, but dancing instructor Judy Cook tells me it‟s a pretty ordinary dance and closer to ballroom dancing than Scottish country dance. Instead, tonight we‟ll be doing dances like Galloping Carousel, Campbell‟s Frolic, Dancing Bees, and Good Hearted Glasgow. Scottish country dancing usually requires at least six or eight people to be able to form a set, but while we‟re waiting for other people to arrive, Judy wants to teach us Domino Five, a dance that only requires five people.

  • The Folk Club Of
    The Folk Club of Reston - Herndon Volume 21, Issue 10 Preserving the traditions of October 2004 Folk Music, Folklore and Gentle Folk Ways October 18 Showcase – T.M Hanna By T.M. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody at the Folk Club for all the support, friendship, and music that you have shared over the years. When I first started attending the Club, I believe about sixteen years ago, I had very limited experience performing in public. Since then I have performed in over a hundred smoky bars, three dozen coffeehouses, seven festivals, and four churches. I’m told I hold the record for showcase performances, although I am uncertain exactly how many I have done (I probably hold a similar record for accompanying other showcase performers, too). My first one really didn’t go all that well, but, as always, the Club members were very encouraging. Fortunately, that was in the days before recording devices. While attending the Folk Club, I have heard musicians and instruments from all over the country, and many parts of the world as well. I’ve seen performers gain confidence and improve their musical abilities by leaps and bounds. I have seen Club members who have moved on to Nashville, or to touring the country with songs that we first heard here. I've heard some of the best live music ever, as well as some of the worst, sometimes in the same night! I have seen nights when the room was packed and chairs were at a premium, and nights when the place was nearly deserted, but I’ve never seen a night when there wasn’t at least one person willing to listen to a song or two.
