The video of this year’s Roy Palmer Lecture has not been added to YouTube, and can be found at https://youtu.be/kV8VODiuGAU.
The lecture will be given by the well-known folk performer, Jon Boden and was titled ‘The Folk Revival – a view from the middle’. In it he reflected on the ups and downs of an extraordinary cultural movement and made the case for optimism with the green shoots or revival constantly pushing up through – young singers and musicians who are now the generation below him, and who were born a hundred years after Cecil Sharp heard John England singing ‘The Seeds of Love’.
