Almost 20 years ago Michael Brocken created from his doctoral
research, what became both a seminal and contested volume
concerning the social mores surrounding the British Folk Revival up
to that point in time: The British Folk Revival 1944-2002. In this
long-overdue second edition he revisits not only his own research,
but also that of others from the 1990s and early 21st century. He
then considers how a discourse of folkloric authenticity emerged in
the closing years of the 19th century and how a worrying
nationalistic immanence came to surround folk music and dance
during the inter-war years. Brocken also proposes that the media:
records, radio and TV in post-WWII folk revivalism can offer us
important insights into how self-directed learning of the folk
guitar emerged. Brocken moves on to consider the business
structures of the contemporary folk scene and how relationships are
formed between contemporary folk business and the digital and
social media spheres. In his penultimate chapter he discusses the
masculinisation of folk traditions and asks important questions
about how our folk traditions are carried and are authorised. In
the final chapter he also considers the rise of an exciting new
folk live music built environment.
