Steve Shaw 'Tradition is tending the flame' (42) RE: 'Tradition is tending the flame, 03 Jan 24


Well it's a different world from the one that the legends of seventy or a hundred years ago inhabited. We have recordings by the ton, we have streaming of everything for next to no cost at the drop of a hat, we have YouTube, we have social media. It's all good but none of all that was a resource for those legends. They learned at the kitchen table, by playing at dances and by going to sessions. I think that was a good way to learn, but there's no way we can languish in the past and wish it would all come back. Loads of young people are enthusiastic about traditional music and it's up to us oldies to encourage and show our enthusiasm. I'm not miserable about it!
