Lovely article from #KateRusby, #Barnsley's famous #FolkSinger talking about South Yorkshire's wonderful carolling traditions.

Over 50 versions of While Shepherd's Watched - we never could do the one to the theme of Ilkla' Moor, too confusing!

Having a wee warble with my #shrutibox this evening. 'Lullay My Liking' is a #15thcentury English Christmas carol and lullaby - the word 'lullaby' derives from the Middle English 'lullen' and is thought to have originated from sounds used by mothers to lull their infants to sleep. Hoping to record a full (and better quality) version of this for my #patreon soon! #christmascarol #lullaby #folksongs #englishfolkmusic #folksinging

Good evening #folx, and welcome to today's edition of Kathy's #connectionlist #connection #introduction, where I curate a collection of interesting people and surface them - to connect us all more richly and deeply on the #Fediverse.

@pbone is a Mozillian and I'll be forever grateful to him and the Aussie team who made me so welcome as a part-timer. Thank you, Paul! 🇦🇺

@venessap is another #Geelong lady and she's also a #PhD candidate and she's a #moderation and #governance specialist 🇦🇺

@judy2k is class all the way down! Jk, jk, but that is one of my favourite presentations of his. You can catch it here:

I met @gavintapp through the #opendata and #govhack communities - and he's into #data 🇦🇺

@rana is new to #Mastodon and I'd like everyone to say hello and make her feel welcome, please. Welcome, Rana! 👋

@pdcawley has a mighty fine #beard and they are a #folk singer #folksinging. They are also into #bread and #breadmaking. This means they have enough points to become an honorary Melbourne / Naarm person. There's a points system :-) 🇬🇧

@kimberlee is a Professor of #law in #Sydney and a long-time friend of the Aussie #opensource community 🇦🇺

@joncruz is amazing and if you've ever used #Inkscape you have Jon to thank. Thank you so much, Jon! Hope you're well! 🇺🇸

That's all for tonight, but I'll do a list every day until ... well until we don't need to 👋
