Welcome to the new Stirrings website. |
|
Stirrings was founded in 1974 by Trevor Sommers as The South Yorkshire Folk Diary, and has been published at least four times a year ever since. It acquired its current name in 1980, and has had a long and complicated history under a long and complicated series of editors. Trevor resumed the editorial reins in 1987, handing over to Raymond Greenoaken when he emigrated to New Zealand in 2001.
From issue 131 (March—May 2007) Gavin Davenport takes over as editor; Raymond continues as publisher, distributor and all-round mentor, with Malcolm Douglas handling layout/artwork duties. As of this issue, South Riding Folk Arts Network News is incorporated into Stirrings. Over the coming months, we will be archiving material from past issues here; meanwhile, see the links below for useful (and sometimes interesting) stuff. Issue number 135 (March—May 2008) is now available.stop press:Fates gig Wednesday 5 MarchUpstairs at DQ on Fitzwilliam Street, Sheffield: details Jez Lowe at the Moon Wednesday 9 April The Moon, 117 Upperthorpe Road Sheffield: details Wath-Upon-Dearne Community Festival 2008 Friday 2 May to Monday 5 May: Montgomery Hall, Church Street, Wath: details |
