Ulster's marching bands form perhaps the most vibrant participatory
folk music tradition in contemporary Europe, and are one of the
most significant and visible elements of working-class loyalist
culture in the divided society of Northern Ireland. Their
significance springs largely from the central place they have
assumed in the lives of their members. This book presents an
ethnography of three County Antrim flute bands from the very
different genres of 'part-music', 'melody' and 'blood and thunder'.
The author explores the emotional rewards of communal music-making
and the way that identities are formed through the acquisition of
tastes, competences and skills within specific communal contexts,
paying particular attention to the impact of class position. These
issues are examined in the context of the competitions, concerts
and street parades that are central to the social lives of
thousands of band members and supporters in Northern Ireland.
