  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Folk for Art's Sake: English Folk Music in the Mainstream Milieu
    Volume 4 (2009) ISSN 1751-7788 Folk for Art’s Sake: English Folk Music in the Mainstream Milieu Simon Keegan-Phipps University of Sheffield The English folk arts are currently undergoing a considerable resurgence; 1 practices of folk music, dance and drama that explicitly identify themselves as English are the subjects of increasing public interest throughout England. The past five years have seen a manifold increase in the number of professional musical acts that foreground their Englishness; for the first time since the last 'revival period' of the 1950s and 60s, it is easier for folk music agents to secure bookings for these English acts in England than Scottish and Irish (Celtic) bands. Folk festivals in England are experiencing greatly increased popularity, and the profile of the genre has also grown substantially beyond the boundaries of the conventional 'folk scene' contexts: Seth Lakeman received a Mercury Music Awards nomination in 2006 for his album Kitty Jay; Jim Moray supported Will Young’s 2003 UK tour, and his album Sweet England appeared in the Independent’s ‘Cult Classics’ series in 2007; in 2003, the morris side Dogrose Morris appeared on the popular television music show Later with Jools Holland, accompanied by the high-profile fiddler, Eliza Carthy;1 and all-star festival-headliners Bellowhead appeared on the same show in 2006.2 However, the expansion in the profile and presence of English folk music has 2 not been confined to the realms of vernacular, popular culture: On 20 July 2008, BBC Radio 3 hosted the BBC Proms

  • 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.
