Thread Name: New Book: Folk Song in England
Subject: RE: New Book: Folk Song in England
I have just this morning finished reading:- BILLY BRAGG - "Roots, Radicals And Rockers" Faber & Faber ISBN 978-0-571-32774-4 and now I have the review to write. The sub-title is How Skiffle Changed The World and it is an excellent piece of work in my opinion.
Next I have to read:- AS I WALKED OUT Martin Graebe Signal, Oxford. ISBN 978-1-909930-53-7 That one has the sub-title SABINE-BARING-GOULD AND THE SEARCH FOR THE FOLK SONGS OF DEVON AND CORNWALL and then I have to write a review on that one (Different publication - different approach needed).
Then if nothing else with a publication deadline comes through I will settle down to Steve Roud and Folk Song In England. I am hoping to be able to interview Steve about the book on my radio programme in late October/early November and I may have to conduct that without finishing the book, but Steve does not need much prompting to get him going on radio interviews as I know from experience so I should get away with it.
After that, I should be able to comment on FSIE here - so keep the thread going!
