Folk Music the Quiet Rebel Rogue -A Fire of Protest

Folk music wears no armour, but it’s always been ready for battle. Rooted in everyday life and passed down through generations, folk carries the voices of working people—ploughmen, poets, dreamers, and dissenters. With just a guitar, a fiddle, or an open heart, folk artists have spoken truth to power when no one else would.

Folk The Voice of Resistance

Across the Atlantic, Irish and Scottish folk traditions kept cultural resistance alive during centuries of colonisation. In the 1960s, the folk revival lit a fire of protest, with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger transforming coffeehouses and marches into battlegrounds of ideas. In the American South and Dust Bowl, Woody Guthrie sang of stolen land and broken dreams.
