14 Jun 11 - 06:32 AM (#3170344) Subject: RE: Lewes Folk Festival 6th-9th October 2011 From: Vic Smith About.com gives a list of 10 Trailblazing Female Musicians at http://altmusic.about.com/od/top10lists/tp/10-Trailblazing-Female-Musicians.htm and look whose at number 1! Well, well, well. It's none other than the patron of our festival! It says of her:- Shirley Collins was a 19-year-old singer and folk-music enthusiast when, in London in 1954, she met legendary ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Soon after, she was traveling through the Deep South of America, making field recordings of hillbillies and bluesman. A diligent student, Collins became a repository of folksong, both English and American, and grew into a towering, definitive figure in the folk revival. She mixed old forms with new (1964's jazzy collaboration with Davy Graham, Folk Roots, New Routes) and employed ancient, archaic instruments to critique modern Britain (1969's legendary Anthems in Eden). For Collins, cataloging oral musical traditions was a fiercely political act, putting history back in the hands of the people. Shirley leads two events at our festival - Event 3 Fri 7th October 8pm "YOU NEVER HEARD SO SWEET" A Multimedia presentation on recordings made by Peter Kennedy and Bob Copper by SHIRLEY COLLINS The Royal Oak, Station Street Advance tickets £10 Door £12 Event 21 Sun 9th October 3 - 5pm Traditional song workshop led by SHIRLEY COLLINS The Elephant & Castle, White Hill Advance tickets £4 Door £6 |
