The Borchester Echo New 'Revival' of Folk Music in England. (155* d) RE: BS: New 'Revival' of Folk Music in England. 15 Mar 10


Long before I'd ever heard the term "f*lk" I was finding music in books as well as hearing it from the pub floor while grandad played it. He'd never heard of "f*lk clubs" yet had played for a pre-WW1 sword team.

I got a nice little song about Junipers and Gentians from an old library book and inflicted my "discovery" far and wide till someone pointed out it was actually a mélange of Prof F J Child's Nos 1 & 2 hits.

Nowadays such balls-ups can be avoided in two clicks of a mouse (though often aren't). What is on the up is far more accurate attribution and recognition of provencne which is a Good Thing.
