And ye sall be his bride…

Yeah, it's not Tom Holland dancing to Umbrella – it's a Bulgarian choir singing a #folkSong. I realise it doesn't sound exactly appealing, but bloody HELL, it's amazing.

'Voices must always remain unheard until they speak, and disrupt what can otherwise only be an imagining.'

Reading David Simpson's (1992) evaluation of Raymond Williams's legacy, and this lil sentence struck me. Simpson is talking about Williams’s style of communication and valuation of the individual voice; but it reminded me of Si Kahn’s line –

‘It's not the fights you dreamed of
It's those you really fought’

While I didn’t relish spending 4 hours of Sunday putting IKEA flatpacks together for my MIL, at least I got to binge on The Old Songs podcast.
Can’t believe I haven’t listened to more than a couple of episodes of it before!

Had the best day yesterday showing a fantastic group of students from the University of Basil around Highland Perthshire, introducing them to the Scottish Folk Revival.

My highlight was discussing Gramsci with them outside of Hamish Henderson's childhood home 🤩

Not sure if I'm allowed to share group photos, so here I am in Glen Shee expertly identifying their mini bus as it came up the road 😅

"Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" is a #folkSong written by American singer-songwriter #PeteSeeger in 1955. Inspired lyrically by the traditional #Cossack folk song "Koloda-Duda", Seeger borrowed an Irish melody for the music, and published the first three verses in #SingOut magazine. Additional verses were added in May 1960 by #JoeHickerson, who turned it into a circular song. Its rhetorical "where?".
