The origins of Topic Records, which has its roots in the Workers Music Association, can be traced back to 1939. In those days, the organisation fostered a belief that music should be used as a tool of revolution, in a cultural and educational sense, and that folk music, passed down through the generations, above all, gave 'a voice to the people'.
During the past 84 odd years, Topic Records has built a deserved reputation for not compromising the nature of its work or that of the independent spirit of the artists it represents. Irrespective of fads or fashions, Topic has not simply survived, but it has grown and flourished too -- proof, if any were needed, that 'grass roots' interest in traditional music, the artists and the label itself, has remained constant and strong.
