A Featured Album of the Month: Lauren MacColl's creative star shows no sign of waning: in fact, her new album 'Haar' might be her most accomplished and rewarding work to date, an ambitious album of painterly beauty, on which the sadness of experience is offset by the constant awareness of the world’s wonders and complexities. #folk #folkmusic #albumreview #featuredalbumofthemonth #scottishfolk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/06/lauren-maccoll-haar-album-review/

So, having borrowed a modern A.C. Norman #AngloConcertina for a month or so at the start of the year this week I have bought my own. It’s not perfect, but it is not at all bad and was nicely priced. It is a #Lachenal and dates to around 1900, but we can’t be too precise as it is a “marriage” box which is apparently what #concertina people call a cut-and-shut assembled from several donors to make one working box.
As if I don’t already play too many instruments (badly)…

One of our Ukranian friends sang Реве та стогне Дніпр широкий (The Wide Dnieper Roars and Groans) at a session recently. The lyrics describe a night storm on the river Dnipro by moonlight with woodpeckers drumming and ash trees creaking. The poem was written in 1837 and set to music in 1886. I was told the first printed editions were confiscated by Russian Imperial police (did I get that correct?). I think it's also the signature tune of Ukranian national radio. I enjoyed the sound of this casual male voice choir recording from youtube but if you have a different favourite then let me know in a comment.

My folky plans this week
Tonight - Morris dance out
Thursday - Morris practice
Saturday - Morris at St Neots Folk Festival
Sunday - play for Balfolk dancing at CamFrench
Good thing I had a restful weekend not entirely taken up by in-laws anniversary celebrations, have done loads of music practice and it isn’t about a year since I covered for our main musician at Morris, eh? Oops… but that’s why we have practice on Thursday!

Her first album Fidl (1997) is on YouTube and various places. It was one of the albums that launched the trend of string band, "early music" klezmer alongside groups such as Khevrisa, Budowitz, Brave Old World, etc.

It's Gypsies, Romanies, and Travellers History Month. I'll be singing traditional songs by GRT people, about English Romany and Scottish Traveller history, to various groups of people. And I'll be listening especially carefully to othered people.
If you're in Little Italy in the McCauley neighbourhood, Paper Birch Books is a must-visit. Not only do they have an incredible selection of books, but they also carry items from local writers, including songwriters, including me! You can find my new CD "Corners" on the shelf. They also still have copies of "The Crow."

The #klezmer scene has never been extremely focused on scores, preferring to learn by ear, so these copyright scores haven't attracted a lot of interest. In theory they were all intended to be filed away in advance of a recording session, but some sessions were canceled or never happened, so unheard compositions are still sitting in the LOC. A few of them are digitized but many aren't, and so I have been working with someone local to DC to try and locate and scan more. #FolkMusic #MusicResearch

Ricardo Levins Morales posters: p130, Woody Guthrie (1979)
A poster of Woody Guthrie’s words. A philosophy of integrity from a North American folk hero. Ricardo says of this one, "This was my first poster because it summarized what I wanted to do. I looked for the quote in small-town bookstores while hitchhiking and copied it down once I found it. I didn’t think anyone would want a poster that wordy. Boy, was I wrong!"
15x22" print available here: https://www.rlmartstudio.com/product/woody-guthrie
Reminded me of the Corporate Welfare Polka -
Haar by Lauren MacColl is out today, and it's really good.
Haar means sea mist, and the album is inspired by stories from the firths of the eastern Scottish Highlands. "Haar - to me - is a reminder that after the mist, always comes light."
#GoodMorning fair folk of Mastodon. This morning, a folk/protest song written by Leon Rosselson, The World Turned Upside Down:
Ironically St George's Hill (in Weybridge, #Surrey, UK) mentioned in the song is now a private gated community.
This Chris Foster album is, to my old ears, bloody marvelous and the recordings of “The World Turned Upside Down” and “Unicorns” are wonderful. Great singer and a very fine guitarist. #traditionalmusic #folkmusic #folk
@Twoclownseating
I also have a chapter that was a lot of fun to write about the #FolkMusic revival in the United States
Where young people were finding players of older traditions, and digging up ancient recordings, some of them as many as 20 years old!
Because the technological gap between recordings made in 1936 and 1956 was monumental
And the cultural gap, across the Depression and WWII was vast
So young folkies in the fifties saw these old 78rpm records like artifacts from the grave

Apparently if you tune in to Radio 2 at 0640 tomorrow you can listen to Jane Moulder, who edits “Chanter” - the Bagpipe Society magazine, talking about this year’s Blowout (annual festival/get together of English & European bagpipes, over in Leicestershire).

Many albums he made during COVID too basically while at home & not touring.

Benedict Cumberbatch to play Pete Seeger in upcoming Bob Dylan biopic — and the resemblance is uncanny. Still, why can't we just have a Pete Seeger biopic? Probably because Seeger was just an amazing musician with a pretty boring life, but — to my ears — a more moving performer.
I'm thinking of adding another track to the No Spoons Sessions post release, "The Ballad of Rte 192" Northern Mainers -- and anyone living in rugged terrain with early snow -- may relate
I may even warm up and rehearse it first! Does that still count as "no spoons?" I'll give it a free pass
I'll send a note to anyone who's already purchased
I went to the library the other day, and it occurred to me that "Trip to the Library" would be a good title for a tune. As there doesn't seem to be one, I thought I should rectify that so here it is. It's not a great tune, but I think it works.

I guess it is sort of a slow #polka: basically, it is a #morris tune.

@leigh most if my #FolkMusic friends haven't moved, I'm afraid. For a lot of them, Twitter's algorithm and the need to promote gigs and music releases make that an understandable choice, at least in the short term.

I'm looking over the manuscript of Cowboy Jamboree's themed anthology "Traveling through Townes." The volume contains stories, poetry, and essays reflecting the spirit of Townes Van Zandt. An essay of mine will be published there. If you are not familiar with TVZ, or even if you are, you may enjoy listening to this album. I'll post again when copies are available in mid-April---Townes's birthday.
