Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: RTim Date: 05 Jun 09 - 03:37 PM Hi All, I have been going cross eyed looking at the George Gardiner Original Field Notebooks online. I have only been going thru to find any additional information on my main subject - ie. Mr George Blake, etc.. This is a truly wonderful resource, I have thus far wasted the best part of 2 days, and I haven't even looked at the other singers I am interested in. I do have one question...Does anyone know what the abbreviation (in a handwritten manuscript) - "Cf", actually means? Thanks - Tim Radford |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: Will Fly Date: 05 Jun 09 - 03:41 PM Cf. means compare - used in texts to point the reader to another location in the text. For example: "Cf. page 22..." |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: Vic Smith Date: 07 Jun 09 - 10:08 AM A concert to celebrate the launch of the Take 6 website Take 6 Concert Saturday 27 June, 3-5pm Cecil Sharp House Over the past 18 months the English Folk Dance and Song Society has undertaken a mammoth project to make available on the Web six song collections from its Vaughan Williams Memorial Library archive, and run schools and community projects in Hampshire, Lancashire and London using these materials. On Saturday 27 June we celebrate this project and the collections that inspired it with a concert featuring Andy Turner, Tim Laycock, Craig Morgan Robson, The Askew Sisters and the Adderbury Village Morris Men and narrated by Shirley Collins and Tim Laycock. The six collectors featured are Janet Blunt, George Butterworth, Frank Collinson, George Gardiner, Anne Gilchrist and The Hammond Brothers, and the concert will include well-known and well-loved standards of the English repertoire performed alongside some of the hidden gems gleaned from the thousands of items in the archive. A pre-concert talk on George Gardiner by Bob Askew (1pm) and the launch of The Axford Project CD by Craig Morgan Robson and The Askew Sisters will also take place on the day. Tickets: £8 available from www.wegottickets.com |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: GUEST,Richard B Date: 09 Jun 09 - 04:03 PM Just to let you know that, after several speeches and glasses of champagne, the site is now officially live. If you've been looking at the in development version, you may need to press 'Refresh' a few times to get the new version. Once the warning message that you're looking at the in development version disappears, you're looking at the officially released version. All feedback and comment is welcome. |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: johnadams Date: 09 Jun 09 - 04:13 PM Richard There's a problem with the funwithfolk and teachingfolksong links. They've been given relative links instead of full urls. http://funwithfolk.com/staff-room.html It looks very good. Congratulations to all. It's good to see the education division starting to make its presence felt. I look forward to further developments. |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: Vic Smith Date: 21 Jun 09 - 07:36 AM Malcolm Taylor - on another board - says - This is great!! I have only this minute discovered this quiz and the YouTube link (I am suitably embarrassed). Thanks Vic being our unofficial PR man. There is more Gilchrist to come, by the way, and we have plans to extend the website to include the Broadwood papers and Sharp's Appalachian diaries. We also hope to input information about the singers. Keep an eye on the site - and please let us know if you discover any mistakes and can suggest any improvements. Malcolm Taylor |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: RTim Date: 28 Jan 11 - 08:46 AM Hi all, The latest news from The EFDSS is that the Baring-Gould Manuscripts have been added to the Take 6 archives. ===================== Latest news... From February 2011 this website also includes the Baring-Gould Folk Song archive, which was created by Wren Music as part of the Devon Tradition project. This was a Heritage Lottery funded project that ran from July 2009 to February 2011. The collection was designed to fit alongside the Take 6 website, and can be searched and used in the same way. ===================== This is again great news, and a wonderful resource. Well done all. Tim Radford |

Subject: RE: EFDSS Take 6 Archive From: Brian Peters Date: 28 Jan 11 - 09:33 AM "Well done all", indeed! Obviously Martin Graebe deserves our thanks for his efforts and boundless enthusiasm regarding the Baring-Gould material, but credit's also due to Shan Graebe, to Paul Wilson and Marilyn Tucker of Wren Music, and particularly to Melanie Smith, who did a huge amount of the archive spadework. |
