Article Title:Vernacular culture and the place of folk music
Abstract:
This paper focuses on an evening event at the Community Centre, Jacksdale, Nottinghamshire, UK in 2001 featuring a group called The Chase, performing folk music and dance from France and other European countries. It raises a series of issues concerning the relationships between folk culture and modern everyday life. These questions intersect with debates concerning authenticity, tradition, working-class culture, community and sense of place. The paper develops the concept of Vernacular culture within a dynamic and plural conception of place as a means of theoretically locating folk music within modern everyday life.
