Issue 46 of The Nut (Spring 2014) reflects a confident, reflective rapper sword scene preparing for DERT 2014 in Leeds. A central feature celebrates Ricky Forster and the High Spen tradition through his EFDSS Gold Medal citation, tracing family continuity from coalfield villages to the modern revival.
Other highlights include Sword Dance Union news, a profile of musician-turned-dancer Matt Crum, and an academic essay, Rapper as Spectacle, exploring audience interaction and performance theory.
Reports cover workshops, archives, community projects such as Goathland Plough Stots’ centre, and lively “Rapparound” news, balancing history, scholarship and current practice.
