Born on December 24, 1939, Robin Morton grew up in Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. His dad was a jazz enthusiast and turned him on to jazz as a child. Morton tried to play the cornet during his youth and also developed an interest in skiffle music before The Liverpool Spinners, among others, began to spark his interest in folk music around 1959. He regularly watched the weekly Hootennny TV show that emanated from Edinburgh, Scotland and featured such folk artists as Martin Carthy and Archie Fisher. While living briefly in Manchester, he also picked up the guitar around that time.

After returning home to Portadown, he began frequenting a nearby pub, where he’d occasionally sing traditional songs during singer sessions. Later, while at Queens University in Belfast studying social work, Morton became involved in the Glee Club led by Phil Coulter, in whose shows he performed a few times (primarily Woody Guthrie songs). He also launched a folk society there in 1963, although he left it and the university after a year to continue his studies at London School of Economics. While in London, he befriended Ewan MacColl, who helped to spur his interest in collecting traditional folk songs.

Upon returning to Belfast, Morton worked in child psychiatry for a while and also helped to launch the Ulster Folk Music Society. He sought to pair music and song together, rather than just separate instrumental and singing sessions, as was the norm. It was through the folk music society that Morton met Cathal McConnell and Tommy Gunn. The three would launch the traditional Irish folk group Boys of the Lough, named after a reel that they enjoyed playing, in 1967. MacColl and Peggy Seeger arranged the band’s first tour. Morton performed and toured with the seminal band, through various personnel changes, for a dozen years.

Morton also collected songs from Ulster and compiled them in a book entitled Folk Songs Sung in Ulster that was published in 1970, along with two albums featuring recordings of traditional singers. Late that year, he moved to Edinburgh.

During the late 1970s, Morton, who had previously worked as a producer for Topic Records, opened a recording studio and established Temple Records, a label devoted to acoustic Scottish (and some Irish) traditional music. Based in a converted church in the village of Temple, near Edinburgh, the label’s mission is “to release music that reflects a great, proud, timeless tradition.” Its first album was Alison Kinnaird’s The Harp Key (1978). Temple Records has released a number of classic, groundbreaking and seminal recordings over the years by such artists as Marie Ni Chathasaigh, John McCusker, Brian McNeill, Flora McNeill, and Christine Primrose. But, perhaps, the most notable act on its roster is Battlefield Band, a group that Morton also managed for more than 40 years — until his passing.

Founded in 1969 and performing under the banner “Forward with Scotland’s Past,” Battlefield Band performs an inspired mix of ancient and modern traditional music and songs. “What the internationally renowned Irish band, the Chieftains, have done for traditional Irish music, Battlefield Band are doing for the music of Scotland,” according to Billboard magazine.

Robin Morton was a passionate champion for the music that he loved. Through the years, in many different capacities (including a short stint as director of the Edinburgh Folk Festival from 1986-1988), he did so much to preserve, produce and promote traditional Scottish folk music – and, more broadly, traditional Celtic music. He left an indelible mark and will be sorely missed.

As was the case last August, American, Canadian, Irish and Scottish artists will be featured in what Cheryl Prashker, the festival’s artistic director and general manager envisions will be “a magical online experience.” There will be interviews and music from The Bookends, Dave Curley, The Ennis Sisters,Daoirí Farrell, Fàrsan, Emily Flack, The Gilberts, Jane & Kyle, Seán Keane, Mélissandre Tremblay-Bourassa & Alexis Chartrand, Dave Woods, and Ryan Young.

An Emerging Artist Showcase with Acts from Around the World to Debut

For the first time, the festival also will include an emerging artist showcase named for festival founders Eleanor and Warren Robinson and featuring 10 artists/acts from around the world.
Participating in the inaugural Robinson Emerging Artist Showcase are 3 on the Bund (Ireland), Clíodhna Ní Aodáin (Ireland/Switzerland), Daridel (Italy), Harmundi (Brazil), Isla Ratcliff (Scotland), Kinnfolk (USA), Michael Darcy & The Atlantic Tramps (Canada), Miguel Girão (Portugal), Mosquera Celtic Band (Spain), and O’Jizo (Japan). The online audience will help select two who will be invited back to play the festival’s main stage in 2022 and will be mentored monthly throughout the year leading up to it. They will also be invited to participate in virtual artist development workshops and the weeklong Celtic College preceding next year’s festival as they seek to advance their musical careers.

“It has been a dream of mine to bring such a showcase to Goderich since this festival and the college have always been about showcasing young talent,” Prashker told AcousticMusicScene.com. She cited the long-running Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in upstate New York as the inspiration behind it and expressed thanks to Michael Patrick Farrell from Toronto-based Dolmen Entertainment Group “who had a great deal to do with helping put this together.”

In all, nearly eight hours of pre-recorded music made especially for the festival will be viewable via the festival’s website (CelticFestival.ca), as well as its Facebook page (https://facebook.com/goderichceltic).

From its humble beginnings as one-time memorial concert in 1993, the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival is now the oldest pan-Celtic festival in North America. In addition to a three-day outdoor festival showcasing some of the world’s best Celtic musicians, dancers and artists, it has grown/evolved to include a weeklong Celtic College and a Celtic Kids Camp, as well as a series of rural outreach mini-concerts.

A Series of ‘Conversations with ..”-Style Online workshops Precede the Virtual Festival

“During the week prior to the virtual festival, which would have been our Celtic College week, we are offering six different 90-minute workshops, which are more like ‘Conversations with …’,” said Prashker. These ticketed events will take place via Zoom – Monday, Aug. 2 – Thursday, Aug. 5 — and all proceeds will go directly to the artists leading them. With the exception of a knot-work drawing workshop led by David Rankine — which will follow a more hands-on, step-by-step instructional format — instructors will generally spend the first 50 minutes or so sharing music and information about their areas of expertise, while engaging in Q & A and discussion with workshop participants for the last 40 minutes or so.

The Goderich Celtic Roots Festival –- whose physical location is surrounded by the Irish and Scottish heritage reflected in the nearby communities of Belfast, Dublin, Kincardine, Lucknow and Seaforth — was founded on the spirit of community and connecting people with Celtic roots and exploring new Celtic expressions. It generally features more than 60 hours of live musical performances by dozens of artists and acts on five stages, ranging from small intimate ones to a high-powered main stage.

Prashker -– who is also part of the Celtic roots group RUNA and a ‘percussionist to the folkies’ — noted that when she assumed her position with the festival three years ago it was her “secret hope to put the beautiful small town of Goderich on the world map … and now it will again be on the world stage virtually.” As in 2020, she noted that “Although the musicians will have pre-recorded music especially for us, the hosts, will be live all weekend long — and each musician will be Zooming in before their slot happens so we can all interact with the audiences watching.” Prashker, who first taught at the Celtic College and played the festival with RUNA in 2011, expressed hope that the virtual festival experience will give viewers a small glimpse of the spirit and beauty of Goderich that drew her there.

The festival is produced and presented by the nonprofit Philadelphia Folksong Society. Lisa Schwartz, its president, noted that festival organizers looked to a theme of Past, Present and Future to mark the event’s golden anniversary and pay tribute to its musical roots. “We really want to honor our musical lineage and highlight not only our heritage artists, but also the new traditionalists who will help to teach future generations to love folk music,” she said.

Gene Shay, a veteran folk DJ who has hosted and produced folk radio shows in Philadelphia for nearly 50 years and has been the festival’s beloved emcee since its inception in 1962, shared similar sentiments in a phone interview. Citing changing demographics and acknowledging the festival’s eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary music that stretches the boundaries of folk, Shay said: “We have to mix it up a little more to keep the old legacy performers while, at the same time, getting people in who never even heard of them… just to keep it alive and keep the audience from atrophying.

Eager to retain its vitality, continue to attract crowds, and help broaden its appeal to younger people who are not part of the aging core audience of folk music aficionados, the Philadelphia Folksong Society brought in Point Entertainment’s Rich Kardon and Jesse Lundy to shake things up a bit in 2008.

In addition to featured performances on the Martin Main Stage, the festival lineup includes such musical workshops as acoustic blues (with Book Binder, Bromberg, Kaukonen, The Philadelphia Jug Band & Bob Beach, Rush, and The Wood Brothers), Husbands & Wives (featuring Bromberg and Nancy Josephson of Angel Band, Kim & Reggie Harris, The Kennedys, and Shannon Lambert-Ryan and Fionan de Barra of RUNA); and Topical Songs (with Bern, John Flynn, John Francis and Paxton). Angel Band joins Dala and Madison Violet for a harmony workshop, while banjo, fiddle and clogging workshops also are slated. Dry Branch Fire Squad, John Hartford String Band and Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen are sure to please bluegrass fans, while Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys, Terrance Simien, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue add to the musical gumbo by providing a taste of Louisiana.

Locally based artists of note Birdie Busch, Hoots and Hellmouth and US Rails play the main stage on Friday afternoon, along with winners of the Unsung Heroes Campground Competition – The Philadelphia Jug Band and Hog Maw, while RUNA and Burning Bridget Cleary — who were a highlight of the 2008 festival when they shared a stage for a split bill — bring their very different styles of Celtic music to the festival, along with Scotland’s Battlefield Band and California’s Tempest. WXPN’s Helen Leicht hosts a Philly Local Showcase on Saturday afternoon, featuring Jim Boggia and Suzie Brown, while the PFS-sponsored Philly Music Co-Op hosts other area artists that afternoon.

In addition to musical performances on several stages, there will be dancing to bands on the 3,500- square-foot covered pavilion known as the Lobby Stage, crafts, and an array of children’s activities in the shady Dulcimer Grove (including interactive musical events from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day). There’s also a festival within the festival for those who opt to camp onsite and enjoy some late-night revelry and musical merriment. — a unique scene with campfires, jamming and song circles into the early morning hours on the 40-acre campgrounds that’s chock-a-block with tents.

“One of the things that has made our festival so special is camping and meeting old friends and reviving memories,” said Shay. “The festival tends to be a reunion for people [who also] see artists get together because they happen to be at the same festival. I’m really looking forward to seeing some great collaborations — those improvised, jam band-like, one-of-a-kind moments with artists who you’d rarely see together tend to be very special. When it does happen, it’s magic,” he continued. “These are the things we pride ourselves on. We’re trying to get more of that without forcing anyone’s hands.”

Reflecting on the festival over the years, Shay said: “There’ve been wonderful concerts and surprises all along,” He cited the time when John Denver performed “Leaving On a Jet Plane,” a song he’d just written, as well as early festival performances by Judy Collins, Theodore Bikel and Janis Ian as examples. “Dylan [whom Shay had brought to Philly in the early 1960s for his debut concert in the area, when he played for 40 people] showed up in the early 70s unannounced with David Bromberg, although he stayed backstage,” he recalled. Shay also remembered it being so cold on the countryside in September 1962 when the first festival was held that he could see Pete Seeger’s breath.

During each festival, between acts on the Main Stage, select videotaped performances from past festivals are screened – many featuring performers who are no longer with us. ”When we started to use video, people could see the artists close up. They could see things like Doc Watson’s picking style,” said Shay, noting that he plans to screen more of them this year. Shay has been known to sprinkle in some corny jokes between the video clips. “Every now and then I’ll tell a dumb joke, but I’m planning to limit that this year,” he says.
