Can someone please donate an image to Roots Music Canada to use in place of their moose one (AI generated)? They are non-profit, doing it for the love of arts and music and all, but I just can’t with this image. I am even tempted to draw one myself but my skills are regrettable in this department.

#DareToBeDifferent
#JukeboxFridayNightQuitting your job (handing in your sledgehammer) was not the norm under the system of forced prison labor in the southern US.
There’s a whole family of songs about that topic. This is Mississippi John Hurt’s version first recorded in 1928. Here he is as a guest on Pete Seeger’s 1960s #FolkMusic show.
“Take this hammer and carry it to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, won’t you tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone”

REVIEW: Honestly, this is one of the best albums I've heard this year. On A Rising Tide, Jennie Arnau gives us stories about people muddling through, and trying to keep their light shining – and they're told with a breathtakingly wide imagination. Arnau is an excellent storyteller, and these songs will stay with you.

Landless
The Sugar Club, Friday, November 6 at 08:00 PM GMT
“Long-term Celtic music fans should flock to them – they’re a deliciously doomier Clannad – while devotees of Ireland’s current, brilliant scene should also respond to their stunning intensity.” – The Guardian Folk Album Of The Year
“While their albums are wonderful, seeing Landless live took my love of them to an entirely new level...They give me goosebumps from the very first note, every time." – Songlines
Enthusiastic Eunuch Presents
Landless (Glittebeat)
with special guest
Seamus Hyland
The Sugar Club
Friday 6th November 2026
Tickets €24 via https://billetto.ie/e/landless-glitterbeat-records-tickets-1922733
Landless are: Lily Power, Méabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinéad Lynch. The Irish quartet sings centuries old ballads as well as more recently penned folk songs. Sometimes unaccompanied and at times with subtle instrumentation, their vocally rich music is dark and patient; spellbinding and gorgeous.

Lúireach, their second album, was named Folk Album of the Year 2024 by The Guardian. Lúireach is an album of quiet power, soaked in tradition but finding new and exciting ways to present these remarkable songs, songs that are full of melancholy, love, death and mystery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cbbq1GZ_gA
Working once again with John ‘Spud’ Murphy (the Lankum producer and ØXN member), Lúireach
sees the quartet adding sparingly-used instrumentation – Ruth’s aching pump organ on Death & The
Lady, Méabh’s shruti box on Ej Husari, Lankum’s Cormac MacDiarmada on fiddle, viola and banjo
throughout, even some mournful trombone from Alex Borwick on The Newry Highwayman. As Lily explains, “A lot of the instrumentation happened organically as we were recording, while some
elements we have used live for years, like the organ. We tend not to make these kinds of decisions in
advance, but make suggestions as we go and see how everyone feels about it. Hopefully the album still has the impact of the unaccompanied singing, with a bit of variation this time around.”
The songs on Lúireach are from remarkably diverse sources and eras: the likes of Blackwaterside, Death & The Lady and My Lagan Love (learned from Traveller Paddy Doran, Norma Waterson and Méabh’s late father respectively) are probably known to even the casual fan of traditional music, while Lúireach Bhríde was commissioned for the RTÉ Folk Awards in 2018 and the closing song Ej Husari was learned from teacher and singer Eva Brunovská at the annual Rozhybkosti festival in Slovakia. Some of these songs are centuries old, some remarkably recent, yet when sung by Landless, they all sound timeless and eternal.
Seamas Hyland
Seamas Hyland is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who focuses on both traditional and experimental music. He enjoys exploring the varied sonic capabilities of the button accordion and creating tonal landscapes using field recordings he collects.Seamas recently released his debut solo album ‘Maidin Domhnaigh’ and was nominated for an RTÉ Folk award for best emerging artist in 2025. He has also collaborated with artists like John Francis Flynn, Jennie Moran and Eimear Walshe, and is particularly intrigued by the contrasting nature of traditional and contemporary music and how/if these can be presented together.

Musical Interlude: Here's a local-to-me performer, doing a wonderful anthem to persistence and strength. It's written for women in abusive/controlling relationships, but it meant a lot to me when I lost a job and was facing an uncertain future.
"You Can't Put My Fire Out," performed by Letitia VanSant.

Big fan of this folk album from the 50s by The Kossoy Sisters that doesn't gender swap any of the murder ballads such as In The Pines and accidentally make it a super queer album where two gals sing regularly about killing their girlfriends.

For those who enjoy #Bluegrass and #FolkMusic - I wrote an essay on #NordicFolkMusic for a Bluegrass-loving friend of mine. It’s full of links to a bunch of my favorite #ScandinavianMusic groups, songs and shoutouts to unique instruments like the Nykelharpa, the Hardanger Fiddle and the Hurdy Gurdy - as well as nods to ethnic (Sami) folk, pagan folk and polka. If you like the vibe of folk music and you don’t mind the obsessive ravings of an amateur #EthnoMusicolgy afficionado, you may enjoy the read. Hit the links, cause I know you’ll enjoy the #Music. https://docs.google.com/document/d/151G-Wg623iFVeSATyQZlJ0CyHxJpBN3wl0D1VQHsN5M/edit?usp=drivesdk [shared Google Doc]
