List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

JohnnyAdams: Removed a number of broken links.

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

For example:-

* [[Books containing tunes from the Welsh Repertoire|Books containing tunes from the Welsh Repertoire]]

* [[Books containing tunes from the Scottish Repertoire|Books containing tunes from the Scottish Repertoire]]

Since I compiled this list some years ago some links may have expired, but since the resource was once available some persistent searching may reveal it again for you. Also there are new resources appearing all the time.

A notable new (to me) website is [https://www.libraryofdance.org/manuals/ The Library Of Dance], which contains links to many early published tune and dance books from all around the world.

Another with a similar remit but focussed more on dances of the English repertoire is [https://www.upadouble.info/listBooks.php Up A Double]

JohnnyAdams: Added death date note

Bill Leader (d.2026) was an English recording engineer and producer. He is particularly associated with the British folk music revival of the 1960s and 1970s, producing records by Davey Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and others.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Leader Article continues on Wikipedia]

The ''others'' include a large number of singers of traditional songs, but more importantly, Bill Leader was instrumental in releasing recordings of traditional singers and musicians from both sides of the Atlantic.

Stephen Baldwin

2026-04-14T15:03:33Z

JohnnyAdams: Updated link to Mustrad article

'''Stephen James ('Stevie') Baldwin:''' was born in Hereford in 1873.  Before he was born his family had moved between Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, pausing at Ross-on-Wye (Herefordshire) and Dymock (Gloucestershire).  But after Stephen’s birth his parents took the family back to Newent in Gloucestershire where his father Charles (‘Charlie’) Baldwin, his mother Eliza (née Bowry or Bowrie), and his eldest brother and sister had been born.

Stephen was the youngest of eight children.  His eldest brother, David, was in his early 20s when Stephen was born, and Stephen would have grown up with the youngest of his brothers and sisters.  The family lived in Culver Street in Newent - the southward continuation of the High Street - which was home to several other families of Baldwins and Bowrys, as well as the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel where his mother had been christened in 1835.

Stephen Baldwin worked as a plate-layer on the Great Western Railway for all of his working life.  During the First World War he served in France with the 13th Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment, the 'Glosters', and was invalided out after the Battle of the Somme.  He was twice married, and had four sons and two daughters.

Stephen Baldwin inherited his father’s fiddle, which Charles Baldwin had bought at a music shop in Hereford, and he in turn passed it on to his own son Charles, who played it until he was forced to give up when rheumatism stiffened the first finger of his left hand.

Stephen’s son Charlie would also accompany his father in pubs vamping on the piano, and his second wife Grace also played the piano, and would accompany him when he played the fiddle in the evenings - to discourage him from playing in the pub, it is said, though perhaps maliciously - as many a traditional fiddler also enjoyed playing at home if there was a pianist in the family to play along with.  As well as playing the fiddle and singing popular songs, he was also involved in a local carol singing party.

Stephen Baldwin became involved with a border morris tradition that when, at Christmas one harsh winter in about 1897, Thomas Bishop, the 'King' of the morris at Bromsberrow Heath, fetched him over from Newent to stand in for the regular musician, concertina player Bill Rudds, who was ill.  Stephen was so taken with the dance that he taught it to a side he himself raised at Mitcheldean, where he was living at the time.

By far the most significant - and sophisticated - element in Stephen Baldwin’s repertoire is undoubtedly his stock of hornpipes.  In England, the hornpipe seems to have filled the niche which came to be enjoyed by the reel in Ireland. Its popularity was obviously tied up with its intrinsic association with step dancing, and hornpipes form the liveliest part of the repertoire of many a traditional musician in southern England.  It is, therefore, not by chance that Stephen Baldwin's skill should be most apparent in his playing of hornpipes, which are undoubtedly the most complex and exciting part of his repertoire.  The pre-eminence of the hornpipe in Stephen Baldwin's repertoire, for both the fiddler and his audience, is illustrated by the description which he gave to the local collector and antiquarian H H Albino, of a Gypsy wedding he was invited to provide the music for.  Arriving at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, he stayed until 2 o’clock in the morning, perched on a tree stump and playing, in his own words, “nothing but hornpipes”, to which the Gypsies danced “with great vigour”.  “The sweat simply rolled off them.  They never seemed to get tired”.

Stephen Baldwin died at home in Upton Bishop on 24 November 1955, having been afflicted with heart problems for some while.

== The Morris Ring ==
http://www.themorrisring.org/

== The Morris Federation ==

The Morris Federation began as an organisation for female sides only. In 1980, it opened its doors to mixed sides and in 1982 it became open to any morris side, regardless of gender. A year later, the word 'Women's' was dropped from the name. The Federation has always taken the view that the dances themselves are more important than the gender of the dancers who perform them. It seeks to encourage all who are interested to experience the pleasure of morris dancing and to strive for the highest standard of execution of which they are capable.

http://www.morrisfed.org/

== Open Morris ==

Open Morris began in 1979 as a loose organisation of East Anglian dancers, following efforts by one of the (then) few mixed Morris sides in the country to find local friends and sympathisers.

At that time there was much rivalry between members of the all-male Morris Ring (founded in 1934) on one side and the Women's Morris Federation, which came into being in the mid 1970's on the other. Both organisations agreed that Morris Dancing shouldn't involve a mixing of the sexes! (Although "WMF" did later become the Morris Federation and expanded its membership to include male and mixed groups).

FolkArts England (FAE) was a national development agency for Folk, Roots and Traditional Music. It was funded by [http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/| Arts Council England] and incorporated The Association of Festival Organisers (AFO) and published Direct Roots, the guide to folk, roots and related music and arts. FAE was dissolved on 4 March 2014 (qv [https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05546472 Companies House]), although AFO still exists.

==The Folklore Society==

The [[Folklore Society]] (FLS) was founded in 1878 and was one of the first organisations in the world devoted to the study of traditional culture. The term 'folklore' describes the overarching concept that holds together a number of aspects of vernacular culture and cultural traditions, and is also the name of the discipline which studies them.

The Folklore Society's interest and expertise covers topics such as traditional music, song, dance and drama, narrative, arts and crafts, customs and belief. We are also interested in popular religion, traditional and regional food, folk medicine, children's folklore, traditional sayings, proverbs rhymes and jingles.

==The Folk Camps Society==

The Folk Camps Society is a not-for-profit holiday organisation run by its own members. The Society was founded in the early 60s when a group of folk enthusiasts decided it would be fun to go on holiday together, eat together and make their own entertainment without spending a fortune. They run holidays under canvas with an emphasis on folk dance, music and song.

A year later, the word 'Women's' was dropped from the name. The Federation has always taken the view that the dances themselves are more important than the gender of the dancers who perform them. It seeks to encourage all who are interested to experience the pleasure of morris dancing and to strive for the highest standard of execution of which they are capable.

== Open Morris ==

Open Morris began in 1979 as a loose organisation of East Anglian dancers, following efforts by one of the (then) few mixed Morris sides in the country to find local friends and sympathisers.

At that time there was much rivalry between members of the all-male Morris Ring (founded in 1934) on one side and the Women's Morris Federation, which came into being in the mid 1970's on the other. Both organisations agreed that Morris Dancing shouldn't involve a mixing of the sexes! (Although "WMF" did later become the Morris Federation and expanded its membership to include male and mixed groups).

==The Folklore Society==

The [[Folklore Society]] (FLS) was founded in 1878 and was one of the first organisations in the world devoted to the study of traditional culture. The term 'folklore' describes the overarching concept that holds together a number of aspects of vernacular culture and cultural traditions, and is also the name of the discipline which studies them.

The Folklore Society's interest and expertise covers topics such as traditional music, song, dance and drama, narrative, arts and crafts, customs and belief. We are also interested in popular religion, traditional and regional food, folk medicine, children's folklore, traditional sayings, proverbs rhymes and jingles.

BARNES,Joseph MS

JohnnyAdams: Links to The Traditional Tune Archive

Back to [[Tune Manuscripts List]]

The Joseph Barn's MS is in the Cumbria Record Office, Carlisle.Ref.DX 74/2.Description.-The Violin Tutor c1786-95. We have worked on photocopies made from Microfilm No. JAC:866. It is part of the Grainger family papers, of "Holm Cultram", Abbeytown,on the north coast of Cumbria and a little to the west of Carlisle. Holm Cultram Abbey was dissolved by HenryVIII.
The book is 9" tall by 7" wide, with hard covers of a material not evident from our photocopy. It appears to have hand stitched leaves, not all quite the same size. Where there is a page of music there are eight hand-drawn staves to the page. Inside the front cover there is a drawing of a floral pattern such as would have been used for an embroidered waistcoat of the 18thC "Tailor of Gloucester" type.

===Broadside Magazine===

"Hugely influential in the folk-revival, Broadside Magazine was founded in 1962 by Agnes “Sis” Cunningham and her husband, Gordon Friesen, as a small mimeographed publication. The magazine reflected the times. It was often controversial, and was the subject of questions in one of Bob Dylan’s many news conferences, as seen in the Martin Scorcese documentary on Bob Dylan released in 2005. Issues of what is folk? what is folk rock? and who is folk? were roundly discussed and debated. At the same time, Broadside nurtured and promoted important singer-songwriters of the era.

By the end of the seventies it had virtually ceased publication. In 1982 it was revived by Norman Ross, President of Clearwater Publishing (a publisher of microfilms and reference books) after the firm had microfiched the entire backfile, and Jeff Ritter, a musician and folklorist."

JohnnyAdams: Updated copyright statement

The Folkopedia team take Copyright very seriously. The folk arts can be particularly tricky when it comes to Rights Management and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Some of the raw material is hundreds of years old but that doesn't ''automatically'' mean that it is free of copyright restrictions. If somebody has added, arranged, rewritten or otherwise enhanced what was previously in the public domain, they may have a claim with regard to that material.

Very often, people who '''''do''''' enhance traditional material are not interested in gaining from it and are happy to have their '''''version''''' in the public domain. This is not to be '''''assumed''''' by contributors without either asking the permission of the originator or at the very least crediting the originator. The methods of crediting IPR will be evolved along with the project.

There are no anonymous contributors on Folkopedia. It is expected that usernames will be people's real names and everyone is expected to take direct responsibility for what they have contributed.

If you wish to retain some control over your own contributions to Folkopedia, we suggest that you investigate the Creative Commons Licence. This is gaining in popularity and possibly offers a very powerful way of sharing your work without losing complete control over it. See the Creative Commons [http://creativecommons.org/ web site]

JohnnyAdams: /* Sussex */ Amalgamated two lists of Sussex singers

The thrust of this section is to identify what we might call 'traditional' singers. These are distinct from the singers who have learned via the folk revival initiated in the 1950s and continuing today.

Which singers should go in this category? That's open to discussion. The starting point is the era of recording, ie. those singers who sang into the cylinder machines of the early collectors, followed by the early reel-to-reel tape machines and then the newer technologies, probably as far as the turn of the millenium. What we include before and after that is open to discussion and interpretation of what constitutes a 'traditional singer'

They are more likely to have learned their songs within the family or the community rather than off recordings but even this factor is fraught with difficulty. Probably the best approach is to take a stab at it and accept the flaws.

Classifying singers by County is probably as good an approach as any. That's often how the collectors did it.

But some of the Counties have changed! Let's include them anyway, for a while at least!

I have been involved in playing and performing in various different folk tradition formats for 50 years(eg. Cotswold Morris, Border Morris, large ceilidh band, small ceilidh band, two piece ceilidh band, street theatre group, acoustic blues trio, music and vocals). I play a variety of instruments, including anglo concertina, melodeons, tenor banjo and other 4 stringed instruments, as well trombone and euphonium. I have performed quite extensively as a semi pro musician and will still be playing again for ceilidhs when we are permitted.

Whilst principally, a musician, with interests in playing mainly English music, I take on many influences from traditional music from many other countries and I also enjoy English songs as well, although more of a listener of those. I keep most of my singing to myself although did spend a happy 8 years in an acoustic three piece blues group, where we all sang as well.

Many in my family were singers.
Father's father was little devil doubt in a mumming play in his youth - I think in Youlgreave, Derbyshire - he could still recall his lines and some of the rest, wish I'd paid more attention now.
I used to go to the folk club at the King George Peel street.
When I left home to go to Portsmouth Polytechnic I discovered the folk club at The Star in Lake Road, the EFDSS and bought my second guitar and started going around various pubs singing and taking a collection at half time.
They give you money for singing!!
Moved to the Midlands and discovered more folk singers, Cotswold Morris, and John Lilburn's Regiment of musket and pike.
Moved back down south to live two doors away from The Old House at Home on Locksway Rd, Milton, Portsmouth which had been one of the pubs we played at when I was a student, and they still had folk music!!
I started to go to Sidmouth Folk Festival - I was definitely at the 21st, I've still got the tee shirt somewhere. I have been almost every year - possible every year, they sort of merge after a while. I even went the year there was no official festival.
These days I play melodeon. Before Covid I was playing for Longsword, a women's Cotswold side, Border morris, Maypole, and going to sing at the folk club in Branksome. It was possible to do some jigs in Poole Park last year.

JohnnyAdams: Initiated list of musicians offering online tuition during the pandemic

There are many touring musicians who are also skilled workshop leaders and may even be qualified teachers. If they are education workers of long standing they will probably also have undergone a CRB check. This is, of course, irrelevant during the present pandemic but many teachers are offering short courses and tuition online.

Joshua Burnett Ms

2021-02-21T03:08:30Z

JohnnyAdams: Linked to Village Music Project page

Joshua Burnett was born in Barnsley in 1808. Although his birth is not recorded on the International Genealogical Index, this date is consistently given in Census returns from 1851 to 1871. The next record of his existence is his marriage, on 22nd August 1833, to Sarah Luker at Worsborough, which lies a few miles south of Barnsley. By the time the 1841 census was taken, they had four children and were living at Worsborough Common. Joshua’s occupation at the time is given as “weaver”.

A family tragedy is recorded by the Sheffield and Rotherham Independent in 1847. The Burnett’s third son, three-year-old Joshua, whilst in the care of a sibling, dropped asleep and fell in the fire and was fatally burnt. His Mother was out, hoping to borrow a shilling to buy food, the family being in great distress due to the lack of work.
By 1851, the date of the next Census, Joshua had moved with his wife and five children to Gawber, on the north-west side of Barnsley. His occupation is given as “linen weaver.” His wife, Sarah, died in 1855, and the death of another daughter, Esther, is recorded in 1863. Joshua stayed in the same area, eventually living with his youngest daughter, Sarah and her family, in Pogmoor. He died, aged 80, in 1889.

The manuscript is unusual, in that includes a high proportion of hornpipes (77%), with only a handful of jigs, reels and other dances, which are much more common in other contemporary collections. It could be that this is one of a series of books kept by Burnett, and that others might contain more tunes of other types. It could also be that he specialised in playing hornpipes. If, as a poor man, he had to supplement his meagre income as a hand-loom weaver by playing his fiddle in local public houses, then hornpipes would be a suitable choice. It is also possible that he accompanied a step or clog dancer, or even played and danced at the same time. There are also an unusually large proportion of the tunes in keys other than “D” and “G,” the most popular keys in tune manuscripts, particularly those associated with fiddle players. The frequent setting of tunes in “A,””F,” and especially “Bb,” suggest that Burnett was not only a very capable musician but also that he played in a group with other instruments, such as flutes, clarinets and bassoons, possibly in a church band. A printed music book of hymns was also kept with the fiddle, which may support this theory.

No date is given in the manuscript. Internal evidence from the tune titles suggests that it may date from the 1830s: after Waterloo (1815) and the Great Reform Act (1830), during the reign of King William IV (1830-1837).

===Broadside Magazine===

"Hugely influential in the folk-revival, Broadside Magazine was founded in 1962 by Agnes “Sis” Cunningham and her husband, Gordon Friesen, as a small mimeographed publication. The magazine reflected the times. It was often controversial, and was the subject of questions in one of Bob Dylan’s many news conferences, as seen in the Martin Scorcese documentary on Bob Dylan released in 2005. Issues of what is folk? what is folk rock? and who is folk? were roundly discussed and debated. At the same time, Broadside nurtured and promoted important singer-songwriters of the era.

By the end of the seventies it had virtually ceased publication. In 1982 it was revived by Norman Ross, President of Clearwater Publishing (a publisher of microfilms and reference books) after the firm had microfiched the entire backfile, and Jeff Ritter, a musician and folklorist."

"Hugely influential in the folk-revival, Broadside Magazine was founded in 1962 by Agnes “Sis” Cunningham and her husband, Gordon Friesen, as a small mimeographed publication. The magazine reflected the times. It was often controversial, and was the subject of questions in one of Bob Dylan’s many news conferences, as seen in the Martin Scorcese documentary on Bob Dylan released in 2005. Issues of what is folk? what is folk rock? and who is folk? were roundly discussed and debated. At the same time, Broadside nurtured and promoted important singer-songwriters of the era.

By the end of the seventies it had virtually ceased publication. In 1982 it was revived by Norman Ross, President of Clearwater Publishing (a publisher of microfilms and reference books) after the firm had microfiched the entire backfile, and Jeff Ritter, a musician and folklorist."

Singers by County

2021-02-10T15:49:12Z

JohnnyAdams:

The thrust of this section is to identify what we might call 'traditional' singers. These are distinct from the singers who have learned via the folk revival initiated in the 1950s and continuing today.

Which singers should go in this category? That's open to discussion. The starting point is the era of recording, ie. those singers who sang into the cylinder machines of the early collectors, followed by the early reel-to-reel tape machines and then the newer technologies, probably as far as the turn of the millenium. What we include before and after that is open to discussion and interpretation of what constitutes a 'traditional singer'

They are more likely to have learned their songs within the family or the community rather than off recordings but even this factor is fraught with difficulty. Probably the best approach is to take a stab at it and accept the flaws.

Classifying singers by County is probably as good an approach as any. That's often how the collectors did it.
