For those that are not familiar with Stead’s body of work, CMM has graciously provided the following biography:
Joe Stead started singing folk songs over 45 years ago at his rugby club the Old Askeans in South East London. In 1998, during one of his many tours of America, he performed for the Philadelphia Folk Song Society.
We are thrilled to start this year’s concert series with an evening's encounter with Joe Stead, one of Great Britain's greatest folk musicians, collectors, teachers, recorders and performers. He is truly one of the Godfathers of British music - a true world asset. Joe started singing professionally in 1966 and has not stopped since. He has played all the major festivals in Great Britain, illustrious venues such as The Albert Hall and Festival Hall and has toured America more times than he can remember. He ran Sweet Folk All Recordings from 1974-1989, recording such people as Pete Seeger, Martin Carthy, Martyn Wyndham Read, Phil Beer, Alex Campbell, Stan Hugill, Jeremy Taylor and Philadelphia's own Jim Couza...
Dr Bob Cohen
Philadelphia Folk Song Society.
Stead has also made several recordings including Valparaiso round the Horn, which follows a trip from Liverpool to Valparaiso in 1860 in which he and the crew sing all the necessary shanties to complete the voyage. The CD has been performed on stage at many festivals and clubs around Britain and in both North and South America.
He also worked closely with Stan Hugill, the last authentic shanty singer who worked undersail at the beginning of the twentieth century and published his wealth of traditional shanties in two volumes, Shanties from the Seven Seas and Songs of the Sea.
It was this close connection, and Joe’s own work in the field of folk music, that served as the basis for Valparaiso round the Horn. For the uninitiated, Stead serves as both teacher and song leader, helping his listeners understand the role and place of shanties, which were work songs, each with a specific rhythm paced to fit the job at hand. And invariably, any listener quickly becomes part of the crew, hauling away with lusty enthusiasm.
The charismatic entertainer is the founding member of Kimber’s Men, a group that is becoming recognized as Britain’s premier shanty singers. This rowdy group of mates also has several notable recordings under their collective belts.
