It is often contrasted with courtly, classical and later commercial music. Folk music has been preserved and transmitted orally, through print and later through recordings. The term is used to refer to English traditional music and music composed, or delivered, in a traditional style. English folk music has produced or contributed to several important musical genres, including sea shanties, jigs, hornpipes and dance music, such as that used for Morris dancing. It can be seen as having distinct regional and local variations in content and style, particularly in areas more removed from the cultural and political centres of the English state, as in Northumbria, or the West Country. Cultural interchange and processes of migration mean that English folk music, although in many ways distinctive, has particularly interacted with the music of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. It has also interacted with other musical traditions, particularly classical and rock music, influencing musical styles and producing musical fusions, such as electric folk, folk punk and folk metal. There remains a flourishing sub- culture of English folk music, which continues to influence other genres and occasionally to gain mainstream attention. History. The Venerable Bede's story of the cattleman and later ecclesiastical musician C. These are usually separated into two folk revivals. The first, in the later 1. Sabine Baring- Gould (1. Frank Kidson (1. 85. Lucy Broadwood (1. Anne Gilchrist (1. Folk Song Society, founded in 1. The second revival was generally left wing in politics and emphasised the work music of the 1. Some of this, particularly the Incredible String Band, has been seen as developing into the further subgenre of psych or psychedelic folk and had a considerable impact on progressive and psychedelic rock. Perhaps the finest individual work in the genre was from artists early 1. Nick Drake and John Martyn, but these can also be considered the first among the English . Leaders included The Pogues, The Men They Couldn't Hang, Oyster Band and Billy Bragg. By the end of the decade, however, it was in decline. This began to change with a new generation in the 1. The arrival and sometimes mainstream success of acts like Kate Rusby, Bellowhead, Nancy Kerr, Kathryn Tickell, Jim Moray, Spiers and Boden, Seth Lakeman, Frank Turner and Eliza Carthy, all largely concerned with acoustic performance of traditional material, marked a radical turn around in the fortunes of the tradition. Lloyd, Martin Carthy, and Shirley Collins. But the decline began to stabilize in the mid- 1. United Kingdom, including many that can trace their origins back to the 1. The EFDSS sponsored the BBC Home Service radio program, As I Roved Out, based on field recordings made by Peter Kennedy and S. In 1. 97. 2 it became . In 1. 99. 8 Jim Lloyd retired from the programme and was replaced by Mike Harding. In 2. 00. 7 it was renamed . In October 2. 01. Mike Harding would be leaving the programme to be replaced by Mark Radcliffe. Anderson, editor of . He hosted a World music programme on . He currently hosts .

They are usually narrative in structure and make considerable use of repetition. They were derived from a form of circle dance accompanied by singers, which was popular from the mid- 1. Lloyd was the key figure in introducing erotic songs to the canon, lecturing and publishing on the subject. He recorded The Foggy Dew and Other Traditional English Love Songs in 1. The Bird in the Bush, Traditional Erotic Songs in 1. Frankie Armstrong, and Anne Briggs. Although erotic songs became part of the standard fare in folk clubs and among electric folk musicians, relatively few of the more explicit songs have been placed on record. The term jig was derived from the French 'giguer', meaning 'to jump'. The name is thought to derive from the term 'moorish dance', for Spanish (Muslim) styles of dance and may derive from English court dances of the period. Morris dance survives in the distinct local traditions of Cotswold morris, north- west morris, Border Morris, rapper dance and Long Sword dance. Protest songs. Lloyd on albums such as The Iron Muse (1. Derived from the French word 'chanter', meaning 'to sing', they may date from as early as the 1. Many were call and response songs, with one voice (the shantyman) singing a lead line and the rest of the sailors giving a response together. There were derived from varied sources, including dances, folk songs, polkas, waltzes and even West African work- songs. There was some interest in sea shanties in the first revival from figures like Percy Grainger. Lloyd attempted to popularise them, recording several albums of sea songs from 1. The two main types of work song in England are agricultural work songs, usually are rhythmica cappellasongs sung by people working on a physical and often repetitive task, like the 'Harvest song' common in south- west England. Industrial folk song emerged in Britain in the 1. This pattern can be seen in textile production, mining and eventually steel, shipbuilding, rail working and other industries. Along with the West Country, this was one of the regions that most firmly adopted reed instruments, producing many eminent practitioners of the melodeon from the mid- 1. Also like the West Country it is one of the few regions where there is still an active tradition of step dancing and like the Midlands the tradition of Molly dance died out in the 1.

Although, some traditions, like Molly dance died out in the 1. Midlands retained strong traditions of both ceremonial and social dance, particularly in the south Midlands and Cotswolds and in the distinctive Border Morris from Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire. In the 1. 86. 0s Llewellynn Jewitt, collected songs from Derbyshire, and some songs were printed by Georgina F. Jackson in her study of Shropshire folk lore. The key event in the history of folk music in the counties of the north west of England was the Industrial Revolution, which divided the region economically and culturally into a northern, often highland and pastoral region, in Westmorland and Cumberland and a more urbanised and industrialised southern zone with large and growing conurbations like Manchester and Liverpool, where changing social and economic patterns emerged in new traditions and styles of folk song, often linked to migration and patterns of work, these included processional dances, often associated with rushbearing and the Wakes Week festivities and types of step dance, most famously clog dancing. Axon, Thomas T. Wilkinson and Sidney Gilpin, who performed a similar service for Cumberland. The region not only produced one of the major figures of the revival in Ewan Mac.

The most significant electric folk group from the region were the Oyster Band, formed in Canterbury, while guitarist John Martyn came from Surrey and fiddle player Chris Leslie from Banbury in Oxfordshire. From the current crop of young folk musicians probably the most prominent are Spiers and Boden from Oxfordshire and Chris Wood, born in Kent. The region is host to numerous folk clubs, and festivals, including the Oxford festival and Fairport’s Cropredy Convention in Oxfordshire and St Albans in Hertfordshire.
