  • 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.

To decline under such circum- stances, he said, would have been “snotty.” Don’t More importantly, he conceives of his MBE as recognition he shares with the whole Call Me folk scene. “I’ve been put at the front of a very, very long queue of people who work hard to make a folk revival and a folk scene,” he said. 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. Lal Waterson, Carthy’s sister-in- law, bandmate, near neighbor and close friend, died of cancer.

This fanzine is Kiddelidivee Books & Art (or ExtraTaraltoriality) (or Taralble Mistakes) 288, pubbed late September 2014. Now we are 63, and no nearer my life goals than I was at 23. Did it Ever Really Happen? Last month I attended a furry meet that had been happening in Toronto every three or four months, for years. Although I had been repeatedly urged to go, the one in August was the first that I bestirred myself to actually attend. There was no sinister reason for this hesitancy. I just expected a much younger crowd than myself, with whom I would have little in common. As well, my mobility was decreasing steadily, and the location of the Islington Fur Meet involved a short walk, a bus ride, a subway ride, and a longish walk at the end that I wasn’t keen about … especially on the way home, at night, when I would be a fairly isolated target dependent on a roller. Not that it is an unsafe neighborhood. I had lived there myself, in the 1960s, and knew every inch of it intimately. But after ten p.m., I thought it might be less than wise for a vulnerable person to be out alone. For those reasons, I kept giving “We’ll see” as an answer to every invitation, but wimping out at the last minute.
