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. The book will create lively debate among the folk music fraternity and popular music scholars, as well as folklorists and ethnomusicologists.Ashgate popular and folk music series.Folk musicGreat BritainHistory and criticismPopular musicGreat BritainHistory and criticismFolk musicHistory and criticism.Popular musicHistory and criticism.781.62/21Brocken Michael1634899MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813299203321The British Folk Revival 1944-20023978087UNINA
