TSCD675 Good Humour For The Rest Of The Night
The recordings in the Voice of the People series represent cultures that have
passed or are passing rapidly, as the social and economic conditions and the
habitats that supported them have gone or are going forever. These performances
have timeless appeal and resonances.
In 1954, there were no other collectors, corporate, professional or amateur,
prepared to explore the nature of English traditional dance and traditional
dance music, and the only precedent in recording traditional dance music on
location was set by Peter Kennedy; the fruits of the pioneering field trip he
undertook that year are presented here - great tunes, great style, subtle
decoration and great rhythm a potential eye-opener for
the newcomer and an object lesson for some old-timers.
Of equal importance, Peter laid down some basic material for the subsequent
construction of a history and an appreciation of traditional music and dance in
the Border hills.

As early as 1949, Peter Kennedy had begun making field recordings of traditional
music in the West Country of England on his own initiative and at his own
expense with a factory prototype tape recorder lent to him by a friend. During
the time the recordings included in this CD/DVD collection were made, 1953-1956,
Peter was working part-time for the EFDSS and part-time for the BBC, and in his
free time he engaged in projects of his own and those he shared with Alan Lomax;
although Peter undertook his own recording trips to Suffolk in 1952, he and
Lomax did not meet up in Suffolk until October 10th 1953, to record singers at
the Ship in Blaxhall, then onto Swefling the following day to record Harry List.
Peter had been keen to record traditional music and dance performance on film,
and Lomax attended the first day of filming at the Ship in November 1955.
June 1956 saw Peter in the area again, this time recording Phoebe Smith, her
neighbour Jim Baldry, Bob Roberts, Jumbo Brightwell and Edgar Button. With this
wealth of recorded material, Peter laid the foundations for future research into
a region rich in traditional music, dance and song.

BITCD346 Here’s a Health to the Company
Jim McFarland is a Derry man and is one of Ireland’s
finest traditional singers. He is also known for his collections of songs from
the Irish source singers.
Ken Wilson is from Tyneside in the North of England, part of the wonderful
Wilson Family but a fine singer in his own right.
They have known each other for the past fifteen years or so and have always had
a mutual respect for each other’s singing. In 2003 they were asked to tour in
Ireland and perform their mixture of both Irish and English traditional songs.
Since then they have appeared at a number of clubs and festivals in the UK and
in Ireland.

PRODAN2017 A Little Cup of Tea
A long awaited recording from a band who have always been more interested in performing live. Ed Caines, Rob Neal and Derek Simpson making the kind of music that, if you were lucky enough, you might have heard in the remoter Suffolk pubs of the last century. A mixture of folk song pathos, music hall hilarity and toe-tapping dance tunes.
