14 Jul 17 - 05:22 PM (#3866144) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: GUEST,CJB FULLY BOOKED Radio 3 Some of Britain's finest folk musicians are bringing their new production of The Transports, Peter Bellamy's famous ballad opera, to the BBC Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House, for a performance to be broadcast on BBC Radio 3. This is a rare opportunity to see BBC Folk Award Winners The Young'uns, Faustus, Nancy Kerr, Greg Russell and members of Bellowhead together on stage. The Transports tells the remarkable true story of poverty-stricken Susannah Holmes and Henry Cabell. She was convicted of stealing spoons and linen worth £2. He broke into a house. Both were sentenced to death in 1784. This was commuted to transportation. They met in Norwich gaol, fell in love and had a child. Susannah was sent with her baby to join the First Fleet to Australia, but Henry was not permitted to join them. The captain of the ship wouldn't allow the child aboard. The gaoler (our hero) was so moved by Susannah's desolation that he took the child to London, and door-stepped the Home Secretary, Lord Sydney. He decreed that Susannah and Henry should marry and go together as a family. They became important people in the early settlement of Australia. This sounds like the plot of a traditional song, and the story inspired Peter Bellamy to write his famous ballad opera. Bellamy's songs have been arranged afresh by Paul Sartin (Bellowhead, Faustus) and Matthew Crampton weaves the story through them with new material linking Susannah Holmes and Henry Cabell's story with the experiences of migrants today. Admission to this recording is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early. |

Sorry, this episode is not currently available on BBC iPlayer Radio This week, Sean Cooney (The Young'uns) and Paul Sartin (Faustus, Bellowhead) talk about their new production of Peter Bellamy's 1977 ballad opera The Transports. The original production told the story of two convicts on the "First Fleet" to Australia in 1787 and featured Nic Jones, The Watersons, Cyril Tawney and June Tabor. The 2017 production features The Young'uns, Faustus, Nancy Kerr, Greg Russell and Rachael McShane, and writer Matthew Crampton will draw parallels with perilous overseas migration of today. |

30 Dec 17 - 12:27 PM (#3896491) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: FreddyHeadey 10 January 2018 2 hours, 30 minutes http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09l25w3 ...recorded live at the Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House. 7.30 The Transports: Part One 8.20 Interval Feature: A Portrait of Peter Bellamy Verity Sharp sketches a portrait, in words and music, of The Transports' composer, Peter Bellamy, revealing a complex, troubled character and rather an outsider. He admired Rudyard Kipling, when most dismissed him as an imperialist, for giving voice to ordinary soldiers, and set his Barrack-Room Ballads. There are contributions from Heather Wood, who sang with Bellamy in The Young Tradition, in which he came to fame in the 1960s; the singer Martin Carthy; fellow Norfolk musician Damien Barber, who was mentored by Bellamy; Jon Boden, a musician much influenced by Bellamy; and his widow, Jenny Bellamy. It features, too, Bellamy's own music, with his distinctive singing. 8.40 The Transports: Part Two Cast Susannah Holmes ..... Rachel McShane Henry Kable ..... Sean Cooney Narrator ..... Matthew Crampton Abe Carman ..... David Eagle The Coachman ..... Michael Hughes The Mother ..... Nancy Kerr The Convict ..... Benji Kirkpatrick The Shantyman ..... Saul Rose John Simpson, the humane turnkey ..... Greg Russell The Father ..... Paul Sartin The Transports tells true story of Susannah Holmes and Henry Kable. She was convicted of stealing £2's-worth of spoons and linen. He broke into a house. Both were sentenced to death in 1784. This was commuted to transportation. They met in Norwich gaol, fell in love and had a child and, after forced separation and great anguish, and the stubborn compassion of a humane turnkey, sailed on the First Fleet to Australia. This sounds like a traditional song and it inspired the folk singer Peter Bellamy to compose a cycle of ballads. The Transports was recorded in 1977, with arrangements by Dolly Collins and a glittering roster of musicians - Dave Swarbrick, Nic Jones, June Tabor, Mike & Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy - and this album is one of the monuments of English folk music. The new production features a new generation of musicians of similar calibre: BBC Folk Award winners The Young 'Uns, Nancy Kerr, members of Bellowhead and Faustus. Bellamy's songs have been arranged afresh by Paul Sartin and narrator Matthew Crampton weaves the story through them with new material linking Susannah Holmes and Henry Kable's story with the experience of refugees and migrants today. Producer: Julian May. |

From: DaveRo http://www.astra2sat.com/freesat/freesat-radio/ A quick google failed to confirm the encoding used but I'd guess mp2 if it's the same as SD TV.

10 Jan 18 - 04:30 PM (#3898643) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: Bonzo3legs I believe that Freesat bitrate is 192kbps which is very low. The best bitrate can be obtained via ffmpeg command line from the BBC webstream up to 369kbps, which is as good as it gets for lossy webstreams. When the programme is finished, get_iplayer will download at 322 kbps but the best trick I have found is to download from the iplayer using a YouTube-dl command line. This gives an AAC file in mp4 container, which when converted to a "transport" stream container (ts), shows a bitrate of 366 kbps |

18 Jan 18 - 12:47 PM (#3900356) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: GUEST,ottery Watched this live yesterday evening in Bromsgrove. Really enjoyed it. I wasn't as taken with the narration as most people, but the music was fantastic so I didn't mind. Nancy Kerr and Rachael McShane stood out as performers. I knew "I once lived in service" from the singing of the Witches of Elswick, and thought it was okay but by no means a favourite. However, seen in context, it's emotional power struck home. The "Robber's Song", "Coachman of the Plymouth Mail" and the "Humane Turnkey" were three great up-tempo songs. The dark and empty streets of suburban Bromsgrove may have been left a bit bewildered last night by the sound of someone chanting: "Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down!" Guilty party: a cyclist rattling back to the station on an old bike. |

20 Jan 18 - 12:55 PM (#3900722) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: Phil Edwards We saw it in Manchester. The performances were excellent, particularly Sean Cooney's singing and Paul Sartin's oboe. A highlight for me was the "Plymouth Mail" song - not the greatest song in the opera by any means, but the way it was staged we saw the entire company working flat-out, either singing or playing (or both). I was sorry to lose the "ballad singer"'s songs, not least because they're the only element of the original which is set to traditional tunes. (Some of Bellamy's tunes are very good, but it's always nice to hear the Dolphin, the Gallant Frigate Amphitrite et al.) And I'm afraid Bellamy would have hated the narration and the contemporary links in general - I can imagine him saying "if you want to write an opera about refugees, you write one - this one's about people who were transported in the 18th century". Matthew Crampton did make some vivid and illuminating connections - bringing out the value of each individual's life (refugee or transport) and the trauma they all experience(d) of forced separation from their home. But I think ultimately there's an odd mismatch between the two types of story. The contemporary 'refugee' story is about people who have no choice but to travel to strange and distant countries, and who should be cared for and welcomed when they get there (or indeed here). The 'transport' story is about people who had no choice but to travel to a strange and distant country... and who then colonised it, becoming rich and powerful by dispossessing the native inhabitants. It's not a parallel that people in favour of welcoming incomers usually draw! |

20 Jan 18 - 05:25 PM (#3900778) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: GUEST,ottery Yes, glad you mentioned that, Phil. I remember thinking to myself during the performance, "I wonder if they've really thought through all the implications of drawing this particular parallel?" |

I suggest that any questions about cuesheets and media players are asked in a new tech: thread rather than here. Even if you can't play it you can use it to locate the songs. Index times are in minutes and seconds. While making this I noticed that two songs are not in the same order as the original - I Once Lived In Service and Roll Down are after Norwich Gaol and Still & Silent Ocean respectively.

14 Feb 18 - 10:39 AM (#3905674) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: GUEST,CJB Versions .... so the 30-08-2017 version IS the same as the 01-10-2018 version but with the Interval removed? So if the 30-08-2017 version was aired on Radio 3 is this the same as the recent 01-10-2018 version also aired on Radio 3? I thought that the latter was the MAIN airing. The Beeb iPlayer page seems to suggest that only the 01-10-2018 version was ever aired? Whatever - thanks for the uploads!!! |

From: Bonzo3legs Aha dates confusion! - the performance of the Transports broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on 10 January 2018 actually took place on 30 August 2017, just a few days after their one off performance at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival . Yes I still have my recording of the Hawth Crawley performance on 1 February 2017, which I'll put in my dropbox. |

22 Feb 18 - 05:10 AM (#3907117) Subject: RE: The Transports on BBC R3! From: DaveRo The piece starts at 19 minutes. At one point in the interview (@ 36mins) Sean Cooney says that Bellamy's Ballad of Henry and Suzannah - the verses he sings to link the songs - "somehow detracts from the story". But in the next breath he says that if the audience don't pay attention they won't follow what's going on (my paraphrasing). Bellamy's concise linking verses certainly don't detract from the story, but do presuppose the listener will know some history: about girls going 'into service', that a minor crime could result in hanging or transportation to Australia, or what a 'stage' is for a mail coach. And I think they think a modern audience will not know enough history to understand the context of the songs - especially in a live performance. And I suspect they're right. So having spoken narrative is justified, I think. It also addresses the problem that Paul Sartin mentions at the start - the original is too short. It also allows them to widen the scope to cover other, different, forms of migration. Which really does 'detract from the story' in my view. |
