Stone Club
PDF Pamphlet
This illustrated PDF was written by Matthew SHAW.
Matthew is the Co-Founder of Stone Club
Beginning with a conversation in a crowded pub in Falmouth, this Folk Union Pamphlet follows a trail of personal memories and places that shape Matthew SHAW’s understanding of folk culture. Morris bells passed down through a family, childhood visits to Pendle Hill, the Saxon crosses of Sandbach and the stories carried in landscapes and communities all become part of his search.
Moving between memory and folklore Matthew, the co-founder of STONE CLUB, asks how traditions survive, how stories persist and how new forms of folk continue to emerge. Rather than something fixed in the past, folk appears here as something lived alongside everyday life, carried forward by the people who return to it.
