01 Dec 15 - 04:06 PM (#3754979) Subject: English Regional Voices - Name names! From: GUEST,Jim Moran I'm looking for examples of English folk singers - past and present - who perform in distinct regional accents. For example, just by hearing the performer you could tell where she/he came from e.g Newcastle, West Country, Liverpool and so on. Thanks in advance. |

01 Dec 15 - 07:59 PM (#3755026) Subject: RE: English Regional Voices - Name names! From: Tattie Bogle Sorry cnd, Allan Smethurst, The Singing Postman, definitely sang in a Norfolk accent, having been born elsewhere, but brought up in East Anglia (which does not include Lincolnshire). Having been brought up in Suffolk myself, the accent has some similarities and we loved the fact that someone was singing in "our" accent. I even worked a summer job in The Swan in Lavenham (Suffolk) which features in this wee film of him. http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/756 And wasn't Peter Bellamy also from Norfolk, and the accent shines through on at least some of his songs? |

From: GUEST,Paul Clarke I'm pretty sure Ben Harker does (fairly new, young singer / guitarist, operates in a duo with a woman Emily / Emma someone: can't call her name to mind right now; I think they won a BBC Young Folk Musician award in last few years). At this remove, I recall his chat more than his singing (though it was good!) and I'm certain he hails from Tyne or Wear valleys way. |

04 Dec 15 - 09:24 AM (#3755638) Subject: RE: English Regional Voices - Name names! From: GUEST,Jim Moran I'm not sure about that. Take Liverool, it's had a thriving folk scene for over 50yrs, and yet the vast majority of "folk singers" from there don't sing in a Liverpudlian accent. Of course, most folkies that I know from Liverpool aren't Scousers. |
