English underground
:''For the 1960s counter-culture 'underground', see Underground (British subculture).''
The English underground is a branch in England's history of art, especially the musical traditions. It usually refers to popular musicians who have benefited from acquiring the sensibility of native English folk song, as that tradition has been passed down through the generations, often without any formal conveyance. It was first identified by the neo-romantic historian E. P. Thompson in 1963, in his ''The Making of the English Working Class''.
We must remember the 'underground' of the ballad singer and the fairground which handed on traditions to the nineteenth century (to the music hall, or Dickens' circus folk or Hardy's pedlars and showmen); for in these ways the 'inarticulate (of people ) ''conserve certain values - a spontaneity and capacity for enjoyment and mutual loyalties - despite the inhibiting pressures of magistrates, mill-owners, and Methodists.
The phrase was used, in a wider cultural sense, in Jonathon Green's book ''Days In The Life: Voices from the English Underground, 1961-1971'', a collection of first-hand accounts of the 1960s counter-culture that often drew on carnivalesque and music hall traditions and styles.
The term is now often used among educated music fans to identify a modern song-writing tradition which is usually taken to arise into the past thirty years via the work of Syd Barrett, Robert Wyatt and Nick Drake. ''Wire'' magazine also regularly applies the term to the gothic-tinged neo-romantic post-industrial music of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Coil, Current 93 and others, calling it "a shadowy scene whose work accents peculiarities of Englishness through the links and affinities they've forged with earlier generations of the island's marginals and outsiders."
