So, even though its good to get back into warm months, where has winter gone? The big news I have to report is that we have received funding from Trust Aoraki to help with the purchase of the sound gear plus lights and mics. We still want to apply for more but Judi Smitheram and Eileen Reid have put a lot of effort in to getting just under $7000 towards new gear. The club is ticking over smoothly, apart from the bar being closed for the last month. The Irish Society has assured me that a new liquor licence will come into force in the next few weeks. So it should be business as normal soon. The last Kids open mic was a great success with a large number of young folk up on the stage to show us the talent that’s out there. I was moved to tears by one young girl singing a song with her mother – she put everything into it. Very powerful! Phil Garland attracted a full house and was delighted when the club awarded him a clock with his name and that he is a founding member of the ChCh folk club printed on the face. He put on a great concert. A lot of faces from the pass came out to support him. This hear ye takes us to Christmas and the break up concert this year is a tribute to artists that have passed on in the last 5 years. There will be a number of performers doing covers plus a free BBQ before the concert for attendees. Enjoy this hear ye and we hope to see you at the club.

  • Representation Through Music in a Non-Parliamentary Nation
    MEDIANZ ! VOL 15, NO 1 ! 2015 DOI: 10.11157/medianz-vol15iss1id8 - ARTICLE - Re-Establishing Britishness / Englishness: Representation Through Music in a non-Parliamentary Nation Robert Burns Abstract The absence of a contemporary English identity distinct from right wing political elements has reinforced negative and apathetic perceptions of English folk culture and tradition among populist media. Negative perceptions such as these have to some extent been countered by the emergence of a post–progressive rock–orientated English folk–protest style that has enabled new folk music fusions to establish themselves in a populist performance medium that attracts a new folk audience. In this way, English politicised folk music has facilitated an English cultural identity that is distinct from negative social and political connotations. A significant contemporary national identity for British folk music in general therefore can be found in contemporary English folk as it is presented in a homogenous mix of popular and world music styles, despite a struggle both for and against European identity as the United Kingdom debates ‘Brexit’, the current term for its possible departure from the EU. My mother was half English and I'm half English too I'm a great big bundle of culture tied up in the red, white and blue (Billy Bragg and the Blokes 2002). When the singer and songwriter, Billy Bragg wrote the above song, England, Half English, a friend asked him whether he was being ironic. He replied ‘Do you know what, I’m not’, a statement which shocked his friends. Bragg is a social commentator, political activist and staunch socialist who is proudly English and an outspoken anti–racist, which his opponents may see as arguably diametrically opposed combination.

Sir! “All those people who organized clubs for nothing and paid you out of their own pocket, and fed you and put you on the train the next morning, and put you to bed when you were drunk! What [the government is] doing, is taking notice of the fact that something’s going on for the last more than 40 years. It’s called the folk revival. They’ve ignored it for that long. And someone has suddenly taken notice, and that’s okay. A bit of profile isn’t gonna hurt us — and I say us, the plural, for the folk scene — isn’t gonna hurt us at all.” In the same year as Carthy’s moment of recognition, something happened that did hurt the folk scene.

  • MADDY PRIOR– EFDSS Gold Badge Testimonial Maddy Prior Is Without Doubt One of the Best Known Voices from the English Folk Revi
    MADDY PRIOR– EFDSS Gold Badge Testimonial Maddy Prior is without doubt one of the best known voices from the English folk revival, with a career spanning over forty years which continues today, and several key recordings which will always be identified with her, including by generations born long after the original release of those songs. Her work, however, has extended way beyond her global hits Gaudete and All Around my Hat. Born in Blackpool to Z-Cars co-creator Alan Prior, Maddy grew up in St Albans where she came to prominence in the late 1960’s in a duo with singer/ guitarist Tim Hart, who built a reputation on the folk club circuit, releasing two albums. In the early 1970’s they joined forces with Ashley Hutchings (of Fairport Convention) and Gay & Terry Woods, with the idea of fusing folk song with rock instrumentation and technique. The new group took its name from a traditional Lincolnshire ballad 'Horkstow Grange' - the tale of a character called Steeleye Span. As is well known, Steeleye Span took folk music out of the clubs and into the charts with a string of consistently strong hit albums, gold discs and world tours. Tim Hart and Maddy Prior remained the core of the group whose changing line-ups read like a Who's Who of British folk until Tim left for health reasons in 1980. Maddy continued to work with the band in its changing line-ups until 1997, when after two massive tours around the release of the album Time, she left the band after 28 years, only to return to work with them again from 2002 onwards, and is still touring with them today.
