Hi,
I'm currently writing an essay on the development of guitar accompaniment styles in British instrumental folk music over the past 100 years. I've found quite a lot of recordings and information on Irish traditional music featuring guitar from the early 20th century (at least from the 1920s) but haven't found anything coming from England or Scotland before 1950s. Just wondering if anyone knows of any early english or scottish recordings that feature guitars accompanying instrumental folk music prior to 1950s. Or, if not, what are the earliest recordings, performances, appearances etc of this that people can remember.
Thanks,
Mat
