Hereward Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Shall I ask Henderson's Relish here in Sheffield to sponsor Northern folk music?. We have some great sauce singers around South Yorkshire and it's easier to pronounce for folk in the US than Worcester Sauce If Henderson's Relish took this on it would be great. A mate of mine in Sheffield gave me a bottle years ago and now I use it all the time; although you can't get it in the Smoke so far as I can find and I have to import it.

LDT Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Most young people I know would rather sit in front of the computer all day, recession or no. (Except you LDT) Errr... DrBones, LDT DOES sit in front of a computer all day, typing comments into this site & others. Between work, sleep and adding comments to concertina.net, I believe she wouldn't be able to fit in ANY concertina practice. I'm only online 9-5 I practice for a minimum of an hour each evening...well nearly every evening onetimes I take a evening off practice and do double another day. Metallica reforms as an all concertina heavy metal band. Eek! There's a metallica song I'd like to learn on concertina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Metallica reforms as an all concertina heavy metal band. Eek! There's a metallica song I'd like to learn on concertina. That might actually sound pretty good, if last years album from the "Boys of County Nashville" is any indication. Some songs are concertina, and some are melodeon. A sampling: http://www.emusic.com/album/CMH-World-The-...d/11270775.html Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael sam wild Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Much as I like Metallica ( not) we do seem to have drifted! LOL ( is that it?) Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefule Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Much as I like Metallica ( not) we do seem to have drifted! LOL ( is that it?) Cheers Mike Don't like metallica? Prefer rosewoodia? We've not even got onto AC/DC yet - and the little known fact that the band's name stands for Anglo Concertina/Duet Concertina. The clue's in the lyrics, "How do you duet, duet to me all night long..." Edited March 2, 2009 by Mikefule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooves Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) There are quite a few threads about the impact of economics on festivals etc.Where will young people go now if things get bad? And what kind of music will they seek out or wish to play? Can we even begin to guess the future? Has any one any interesting scenarios for the next revival? Miker 1) they will go where all thier childhood memmories are safely kept, there old room thier parents haven't turned into a study yet. 2) whats popular, downloadble, no bands over 25 please 3) Of Course: music of the Depression will make a ressuregence, quickly followed by a series of emo-beat poems/raps, then in the end each countrie's citizens will gain strength in the traditions of thier forefathers, this too will dissapear and slowly people will begin to realize that every ending is a begining, and we are actaully in a new Reniassance. 4) Then things will get interesting: YouTube will burn itself out, live music will dominate, cultural mixes will take the stage - each major style will get a cultural infusion, like "New Grass", old and new mash-ups, Rock N roll will become as traditional as O'Carolan. The cliche 3 man rap-boy-band preaching about killing whitey and the beacthes big but will finally slip away into oblivion. Remember this: digital data is not forever - a writeable CD lasts about 5 years , almost all the crappy videos will simply vanish as nobody (even the authors) will care to back them up. All that will remain is the same as it always has been, you keep the good and forget the mediocre. Edited March 4, 2009 by Hooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lady from the British Library, our key archive said web site material can just vanish from Google etc. She said that when Obama took over Bush's administration material was wiped! My youngest son put up a nice web site about my father, Sam, who fought in the Spanish Civil War and it vanished when the host site vanished from the web so keep it on paper!

michael sam wild Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 There are quite a few threads about the impact of economics on festivals etc. In the past hard times sent people away for work and their nostalgia and loneliness forced them to congregate for music etc that reminded them of home. Chicago, New York, Manchester, London, Melborne etc were centres for Irish music in the 1890s, 19220s, 50s 60s . This even fed back to the home country. Where will young people go now if things get bad? And what kind of music will they seek out or wish to play? Sometimes hard times are accompanied by a desire for communal values and identity and coupled with anger at the causes of recession can lead to a shift of conciousness. On the other hand we have also witnessed the flourishing of 'trad' music in times of prosperity as people had time for alternative lifestyles and travel, second homes and the money to buy expensive concertinas etc! Sometimes this leads to appropriation of other cultures. Can we even begin to guess the future? Has any one any interesting scenarios for the next revival? Miker I just read a piece in The Sunday Times about Ireland's perilous economic position. One young guy said he was going to Beijing to work as a driver and others are going to Australia. America is seen as a bad risk at the momenet. Poland was inviting Irish workers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
