The Glasgow Ballad Workshop was founded by Ronnie Clarke, Gordeanna McCulloch and Anne Neilson, and how fortunate we were to have had these three remarkably talented and knowlegable people to guide us through the intricacies of ballad performance, history, language..... we were devastated to lose all three within an 18 month period. However others rose to to the task under the sure hand of Adam McNaughtan, established us in a new venue (DRAM in Woodlands Road) and have proved themselves worthy of the responsibility. During lockdown some of us are bravely exposing ourselves (musically) on the internet. Others are continuing with ballad writing, following in from a task set by Anne.abd I expect once we all gather again, whenever, we will all have hugely increased our repertoires?!
