The Cherry Tree Carol is a bit odd. What are Mary and Joseph doing in that orchard, and why is Joseph so mardy? What could be more festive than 1500 years' worth of gossip and drama... handeddown.buzzsprout.com/1832070/141933…
Have you been charitable in your life? Did you give a cow to the poor, or 'hosen and shoon' to a beggar? Did you judge rightly? Have you been moving your neighbours' boundary stones? Better take stock… handeddown.buzzsprout.com/1832070/140321…
I've just added the phrase "oh chinny reck-on" to my Christmas podcast script, which is a bit of a clue to the song itself. Also a dead give-away that I was at a UK school in the 80s.
A reminder that Trad Song Bingo is there for your festive singaround needs... natstand.org.uk/bingo/index.htm
Here's a Handed Down song: my Mum's written down version of She Moved Through The Fair that she gave me in the mid 80s. She learned it in 60s folk clubs.
We're going over the thorny moor and the high Gjallarbrui; we're glimpsing heaven and hell and as for the final judgement, we've got a ringside seat. There are angels and ghosts and, surprisingly, gossip. handeddown.buzzsprout.com/1832070/140321…
This unusual song was a feature of the 60s and 70s folk revival - a real show stopper and something of a curiosity. But underneath it lies a thousand years of European folklore, and a further thousand years of vivid theology.handeddown.buzzsprout.com/1832070/140321…
**NEW EPISODE** It’s the Lyke Wake Dirge! This is a song that has to be experienced rather than studied, so follow me. I can promise you a very weird time. handeddown.buzzsprout.com/1832070/140321…
It's #BandcampFriday and I'm excited to tell you my debut EP #AwakeningTheLady has just been released for downloading! 5 unaccompanied singing tracks of some of the Child Ballads I've had the privilege of reworking. #NewMusic #FolkMusic Get it at helenlindley.bandcamp.com/album/awakenin…
I'm experimentally setting the Lyke Wake Dirge to the medieval tune Ad Mortem Festinamus - "We Hasten to Death". I'm having such a good time!
I *was* hoping to have a Lyke Wake Dirge episode out for Halloween but have gone down the rabbit hole with the Norwegian ballad Draumkvedet. It also has a whinny moor and brig o' dread and I'm working on an English translated version using the original tune. #folkrabbithole

Very excited to be in Malvern to see @ChrisWood_Music who I last saw live in the 90s and have been fangirling at a distance ever since! First song and I'm having a little cry already.

my favorite part of the Cherry Tree Carol is when she says “the 6th day of January your birthday shall be” because yeah, she’s right - that is my birthday. Ofc this is also Julian calendar Christmas; makes you think.
The Cherry Tree Carol is a bit odd. What are Mary and Joseph doing in that orchard, and why is Joseph so mardy? What could be more festive than 1500 years' worth of gossip and drama... handeddown.buzzsprout.com/1832070/141933…

Well folks, the weekend countdown has begun. Whatever you have planned - enjoy! See you on the other side. xxxx
This many times over. And for me it's very personal. On the upside, it's never too late to start. Sing out 🎶🎵🤗
One of the greatest lies ever told to people is - “You can’t sing”. This is absolutely wrong and the negative impact it can have on a lifetime is criminal. The reality is you can sing, you should sing, and the person who told you otherwise is categorically wrong. How dare they.
The UK folk music scene is massive, there are several Christmas folk tours happening this season, including mine with @boden_jon and one with regular chart-bothering folksinger @katerusby , on her 7th Christmas album. Hard to dismiss the tens of 000s of audience as “faddists”…
AN Wilson in today's @thetimes - trust you will be having words @elizacarthy @TheEFDSS
Nowt wrong with weird!
@elizacarthy @boden_jon @katerusby I don't know, Eliza. My daughter regularly tells me that all my folkie friends are weird. And to be honest, I find it hard to disagree with her.
@HandedDownPod I did! Maybe Yorkshiremen have reason to feel at a disadvantage. As half Yorkshire myself I'm not relishing that afterlife. Off to give away some shoes.
What a wonderful thing to wake up to! Being included amongst these musicians has somewhat blown my mind! Thank you, David, for such beautiful sentiments, I'm so very grateful. 😊🥰🤗
