The first, The Ballad of John Axon, was originally broadcast on 2 July 1958, and this evenings event will be marking its 50th anniversary.<BR><BR>Uniquely, the programmes took the speech of working people, until then almost always voiced by actors, and allowed them to tell their own stories. They told them into the new 'Midget' mobile tape recorder wherever they lived and worked - in railway yards, on fishing vessels, down pits, on bulldozers, in Traveller encampments. Their stories were woven together by Ewan MacColl with songs that he wrote specially for the programmes, after listening intensely to the language and rhythms of the voices, and by the young Peggy Seeger, who designed the musical setting and directed the performers. The programmes were rehearsed and recorded under the overall direction of the visionary Birmingham radio producer Charles Parker, a pioneer of the new painstaking art of tape splicing.<BR><BR>The radio ballads were hugely influential on what became the folk revival movement, and broke ground in challenging the domination of ‘Queen’s English’ on the BBC.<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> </SPAN></B>Peter Cox<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> </SPAN></B>lovingly explores this subject in his new book, and in this evening’s talk he will be playing extracts from the ballads and recounting his research.<BR><BR><A href="http://www.setintosong.co.uk/" target=_blank>http://www.setintosong.co.uk/</A><BR>Listen to the original radio ballads here:<BR><A href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/radioballads/original/index.shtml" target=_blank>http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/radioballads/original/index.shtml</A><BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Gill Sans MT"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Gill Sans MT'">________________________________________________________ </SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Gill Sans MT" color=blue size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: blue; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Gill Sans MT'"></SPAN></FONT></P>
