GUEST,surreysinger sans cookie Biography of Lucy Broadwood and uncle? (12) RE: Biography of Lucy Broadwood and uncle? 21 Dec 12


Thanks for those kind words Matthew. You've seen and heard the music- heavy, word-light variety of "Listen and You Shall Hear".I also do talks on her life and work (less music and more talk),the most recent being for Heritage Weekend in Dorking,Surrey, within hailing distance of Lyne House (her home for most of her childhood and early adulthood).Conrad, you may like to find David Gregory's article for the Folk Music Journal entitled "Before the Folk-Song Society: Lucy Broadwood 1884-1897" (easily traceable in search mode - I have tried to provide a link but it doesn't want to play ball). This covers Lucy's early collecting period from age mid 20s to mid 30s, which saw the production of her first two published works, up to the point that the formation of the Folk-Song Society was imminent, and her inter-relationships with fellow collectors of the period. There are also a lot of helpful footnotes which give leads to other articles and papers.
