A few weeks ago I received an email about this new book, written by Gordon Ramsey and published by Peter Lang. I've met Gordon quite a few times over the years at various musical events - not only does he study the bands scene, but he is also a member of a flute band as well. The best projects are always come from people who are within, who belong; mere book-learning by outsiders who are parachuted in is no way to treat folk culture. I'm sure that plenty of readers here will be interested in the book - find out more here.
Always learning. Born, bred and still living on the most easterly point of Northern Ireland - the Ards Peninsula - 18 miles across the sea from Scotland. I do lots of things- design, music, talks, trying to be a husband and father. This blog isn't an example of great quality writing or research, it's just a scrapbook pointing towards content that's of interest. © the author; contact me for permissions
