We will be holding our spring conference on 20th March 2027. This meeting is one of our regular ‘no theme’ conferences in which we welcome papers on any aspect of traditional song – including the songs themselves, the tunes, singers, collectors, and social contexts, as well as allied folk fields and other vernacular musics which influenced traditional repertoires and styles. The conference is not concerned with revivals or artistic reinterpretations of traditional song. Britain and Ireland and the countries with close cultural ties with them will be our focus, but we would consider relevant contributions from elsewhere.
We will send out the call for papers later in the year, but in the meantime get your thinking caps on!
The venue, Jews’ Court, Steep Hill, Lincoln, which Mossy Christian found for us, is a spectacular Grade 1 listed building in the heart of the beautiful city of Lincoln.
