Abstract

The British Folk Revival is the very first historical and theoretical work to consider the post-war folk revival in Britain from a popular music studies perspective. Michael Brocken charts the revival from its origins in left-wing political ideology through to the convergence of folk and pop during the 1950's and 1960's, and the fragmentation and constriction of the revival since the 1970's.

Other Voices presents a history of the

Abstract

In charting the life and times of Gordon Stretton, this text makes a major contribution to both jazz and popular music studies.
