Sunday 17 April: Who are The Folk in folk music? With Ross Cole.
An Old Songs episode for these hard times, and one featuring a legend I've long admired: Mr Billy Bragg.I had been meaning to record something on “Hard Times Of Old England” for some time, but hadn't had the time or contacts to do it justice. The coronavirus situation offered me time in abundance, and it just so happened that my ideal interviewee had some time spare, too.‘Hard Times of Old England' was a very important song to me as it was a real gateway into traditional music. For a song with so few entries into the VWML archive, it has had a huge reach in terms of artists who have recorded it. Take a look at its page on Mainly Norfolk for a full discography.Hopefully, this'll give you something interesting to do for an hour, whether you're self-isolating or just plain bored. Let's hope that these hard times will not last for long.What you'll hear in this podcastOther than the interview you'll hear with Billy Bragg, you'll also hear recordings by:Stick In The Wheel (and I also mention a previous interview with them, which you can find here)Ron Copper (in the podcast, I refer to this recording being by Ron, while Billy Bragg refers to it as a Bob Copper recording. The confusion comes from the fact that the same recording has been published under different names in different placesThe Imagined VillageJerry Bryant and Starboard Mess, singing ‘Roast Beef of Old England‘The Young Coppers' recording of ‘Hard Times of Old England‘The Copper Family.

Last week Quietus co-editor Luke Turner had the great pleasure of travelling down to the ancient town of Lewes, East Sussex to speak to the great Shirley Collins for a Quietus Hour Special. We visited Shirley's cottage to have a brew (she makes an excellent brew) and discuss and listen to nine songs of her choosing. In her front room, recently used to record 2016-highlight album Lodestar, we talked about that record and her return to song, why Morris dancing and the English folk tradition are derided and neglected at our peril, her friendship with Lodestar-collaborators Cyclobe and some of the musicians she's picked, the racism she encountered in the American south while collecting music with Alan Lomax and her fears for the future. We also talked about the wonderful landscape of the Sussex Downs and the uncanny presence that lurks within its folds, the great Sussex folk hero Bob Copper, and why songs are always good when sung by a handsome man.
Andrew has been to hear Ushti Baba, Calico Jack, a big celebration of Bob Copper at Cecil Sharp House, and some youngster name Luke Jackson. Clarrie isn't around, so he get's to pontificate without interruptions.
