> In conjunction with Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, Charles Parker (1919
-1980)
> produced the innovative BBC series known as the Radio Ballads. Beginning
with
> The Ballad of John Axon in 1958 the series offered insights into the lives
of
> ordinary people presented in their own words and through their own voices
> merged with the sounds of folk, jazz and other traditional musical idioms.

> development of media and cultural studies, oral history, radical theatre as
> well as wider debates in post-war Britain.
>
> 5 April 2004 saw the launch of the first annual 'Charles Parker Day'
> organized and hosted by The Bournemouth Media School (Bournemouth
University)

> celebrating and discussing the work and influence of this pioneering BBC

> lived and worked and where his archive is held (SEE
> http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/GenerateContent?
CONTENT_ITEM_ID=2126&CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE=0&MENU_ID=12446.)
>
> While Parker was very much the focus on that first day the aim was to launch
> an annual event that would consider broadcasting in much wider terms, past,
> present and future, bringing together practitioners, researchers and media
> teachers. The event also saw the launch of a prize for student work in radio
> and the shortlist will be featured throughout the day and the winner
> announced.
>
> Hosted by the Department of Media and Communication at the University of
> Central England, this year's event will feature invited speakers from the
> international academic and broadcasting community. There will also be a
> presentation from the Radio Studies Network (see:
> http://www.radiostudiesnetwork.org.uk/).
>
> There will be a nominal charge on the day to cover costs.
>
> Proposals of no more than 250 words are invited for papers on any subject in
> broadcasting history. We are particularly interested in the development of
> radio or TV features subsequent to Parker's time that maintain the spirit of
> his work. It is also hoped that an international perspective on
> programme-making can be explored and developed.
>
> Parker was also a founder member of the radical Banner Theatre group that
> continues to explore the possibilities of multi-media performance in the
> spirit of his work. A second day will see a celebration of the 30th
> anniversary of Banner Theatre who will be performing work from their
> repertoire.
>
> This second day will feature invited speakers such as Tony Benn, a
> performance by Banner and a panel discussion around cultural activity,
> actuality and the representation of ordinary people. There will also be a
> discussion of the work of Phillip Donnellan, documentary filmmaker and
> Parker's contemporary as well as a screening of some of his TV work.
