  • Recordings It Is Nonetheless Fortunate That This Edinburgh Big Bill Broonzy
    Recordings It is nonetheless fortunate that this Edinburgh Big Bill Broonzy. On Tour in Britain, 1952. concert was not the only one to survive by means rd Jasmine JASNCD 3011/2. Unit 8, Forest Hill of an amateur recording on acetate discs. On 3 Trading Estate, Perry Vale, London SE23 2LX; December 1952 Broonzy played Hove Town <www.hasmick.co.uk> Hall, near Brighton in the south of England. The recording quality was not as good, but on the whole the concert was much superior. By now Big Bill was in full command of his ‘folk’ repertoire, and more confident of his audience’s reaction to the songs. The result was a better pacing of his material, although many of the songs were the same as those performed in Edinburgh. Bill had discovered that songs associated with Woody Guthrie were more politically correct than those associated with Burl Ives, so “Going Down the Road Feelin’ Bad” replaced “The Blue Tail Fly”, and the chosen spiritual was one beloved of the British peace movement, “Down By the Riverside”. One of two collaborations with a British Trad band called the Christie Brother Stompers ( “I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover”), was undistinguished and easily forgotten, but, surprisingly, a fast-paced rendition of “Careless This is a double CD of ‘warts and all’ recordings Love” with the same band was a great success, of two concerts given by Big Bill during his thanks in no small part to excellent solos by lengthy stay in the UK during 1952. The first, in trumpeter Dickie Hawdon and trombonist Keith Edinburgh during February of that year, caught Christie.

  • A. L. Lloyd and the English Folk Song Revival, 1934-44
    A. L. Lloyd and the English Folk Song Revival, 1934-44 E. David Gregory Abstract: E. David Gregory outlines the genesis and contents of A.L. Lloyd's 194-4 history of English folk song, The Singing Englishman. Focusing on Lloyd's working-class childhood, subsequent jobs in Australia, London and Antarctica, contact with A.L. Morton, studies at the British Museum, leftist journalism, and BBC broadcasts, Gregory counters criticisms of Lloyd's writings by Maud Karpeles and Vic Gammon and demonstrates Lloyd's importance for the post-1945 Revival. It is now 30 years since the publication of A.L. ship.... The project was doomed to failure" (1986: Lloyd's magnum opus, Folk Song in England (1967). 151). However, the jury is not yet in on this Although currently out of print, the book remains the controversy. Indeed, Lloyd blended a Marxist most systematic survey of English traditional song, approach to cultural history with Cecil Sharp's and the most detailed account of its evolution from analysis of folksong melody and oral tradition. But the 14th century to the 20th. Essentially, Lloyd this approach was not necessarily doomed to failure. broadened, in a legitimate and necessary way, Cecil Sharp's conception of folk music as a product of oral Gammon premises his critique of Folk Song in tradition. Lloyd recognized urban and rural song England's methodology on his dismissal of Cecil traditions, and explicitly extended the study of Sharp's legacy as a middle-class misappropriation traditional music to include ritual songs, carols, sea of working-class music, a perspective apparently songs, industrial songs and political songs.
