FOREWORD

I I

lhave great pleasure in introducing the programme for theThird Billingham lnternational Folklore Festival. The fact that this is the third festival in three years is a remarkable achievement, reflecting credit on all concerned with the success of the first two: the performers and organisers, and also the council and people of the town. The combination of an ultra-modern town centre, the great industries of the North East, and the ancient folk arts of the Festival, is most stimulating. It all represents an encouraging attempt to provide a humane environment, with the benefits of modern technology combined with the enriching influence of traditional culture.

I am myself particularly pleased that the National Coal Board should be associated, both with the district heating scheme for the town centre, which though seemingly mundane embodies great-v,ision on the part of the council; and through the person of this year's Chairman of the Council, who works for the Board in Durham.

lwish all success to Billingham and its Third lnternational Folklore

Festival.

AUSTRIA ,,TIROLER MOTETTENCHOR" STADT WORGL The mixed choir at this year's festival is coming from the Austrian Tyrol; the same region which sent us the popular folklore group 'Trachtenverein' in 1966. The choir is made up of 25 men and 25 women who live in the town of Worgl and the surrounding district. This is quite near Salzburg, famous as a centre of one for the world's great musical festivals which was featured in the film 'Sound of Music'. The choir was formed in 1958 and quickly made for itself a national reputation. ln 1963 (known at that time as 'the Choir of Music Friends) the choir made its only visit to the British lsles to take part in the Llangollen lnternational Musical Eisteddfod. They won first prize in the competition for Mixed Choirs, the major event of the festival. Since the'n they have given many concerts in their own country appearing several times at the Salzburg Festival and broadcasting on Austrian Radio. ln the Autumn of 1965 they made a successful tour of Czechoslovakia. The Choir will be conducted by Georg Foidl (insert) who has received oustanding tributes from international critics. 22

CANARY ISLANDS FOLK SONG AND DANCE GROUP "ROOUE NUBLO", LAS PALMAS This group of young people need no introduction to the people who attended the Billingham Festival in 1966. Their beautiful girls and costumes; the handsome friendly young men created an unforgettable impression on all who saw and heard them. The laughter, gaiety, music and colour which they brought to Billingham was undoubtedly a major factor in making the festival the great success it was. All who have met the group will be delighted at seeing them again; those who have not, can look forward to a unique experience.

"Roque Nublo" are presenting a much bigger repertoire of music and dance than they did

last year. There will be new items for all to see and hear.

The fame of the group is extending further afield and this year'Billinghartr is the last step in to Czecho-Slovakia, Germany and Holland.

They havd travelled more than 20,000 miles representing England in lnternational Festivals in lreland, Yugo-Slavia, ltaly, Holland and Germany. Their famous "Blue and Golds" Rapper team will have beeri seen by many festival visitors when they appeared here in 1965 or in the television presentation of their performance at the Folklore Festival in the Royal Albert Hall in.February. This was their fourth invitation to dance in the Albert Hall; an appearance here is regarded as the highest honour in the Folk Dance and Song world.

The Sword Dancers maintain an ancient local tradition surviving among the coal miners and workers in iron, and closely linked with the mumming plays which used to be a common feature gf village life. ln this folk custom the 'sword' is a dance property rather than a weapon of offence' The Northumbrian sword dance is called a 'Rapper'. 24
