From humble beginnings in the '50s, Queensland has generated a passionate and organised community of singers, dancers, musicians, songwriters, instrument-makers and - yes, historical recreationists. People from many walks of life, countries of birth and shades of political persuasion identify as 'folkies', bound together by a common ethos as powerful and enduring as it is hard to define.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet folk functions as an underground movement, barely recognised by mainstream culture. Ask someone on the street about 'folk music' and they'll say it wandered into the sunset humming I Shall Be Released around 1975. The folk interviewed for this book, aged 9 to 90, tell a different story - in fact, hundreds of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Here for the first time the Brisbane folk community reflects on this creative, cohesive, multi-generational sub-culture. How has folk music shaped and been shaped by the state's political evolution? Where does the Brisbane folk scene intersect with Queensland, Australia, the world? And what's coming next?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacked with shenanigans, insight, tragedy, love and phone-tapping, with its blood alcohol content perhaps a little high but its heart firmly in the right place, \u003cem\u003eBrisbane Folk\u003c\/em\u003e will make you feel the music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brisbane Folk History Project Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45113519440023,"sku":"9780648710509","price":1872.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780648710509.webp?v=1767899428","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/brisbane-folk-folk-music-in-brisbane-1950-to-now-9780648710509","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
