Besides there is a lot of work going on tracing the families of performers for permissions, and checking copyright. You can hear all the recordings in London (when the BL is open). Tradsinger |

Subject: RE: Blocked Sounds @ British Libabry - 2 From: GUEST,SB Date: 18 Sep 20 - 05:14 PM The CDs (ex-cassettes) do not include all of the field recordings at the BL. And I'm sure all CDs are purchsed as and when. It is the research material that is blocked. |

"John Howson English, Irish & Scottish Folk Music Collection Number of items in collection: 4382 Recordings in this collection are available for Higher and Further Education institutions only." https://sounds.bl.uk/World-and-traditional-music/John-Howson-Collection But see here how they have a different attitude in the US. The field recordings made by Alan Lomax and Seamus Ennis in Southern Irelend from 1951-53 are freely available to all. http://research.culturalequity.org/get-audio-ix.do?ix=session&id=IR51&idType=abbrev&sortBy=abc Many of these recordings featured in the BBC's Irish Radio Ballad 'Stone of Tory' (which was only aired but once). http://research.culturalequity.org/home-radio.jsp "Stone of Tory, 1950. A full-scale ballad opera, broadcast from Dublin, featuring Irish rural singers and a cast from the Abbey Theatre." https://www.loc.gov/item/afc2004004.ms300403/ https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/643c0c98d96849b6bf5e215978c2695c https://modernismmodernity.org/articles/archival-airwaves ==== |
