  1. 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.

  4. 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.

    Would you mind not touting Fscking google, threre are many other ways to, share without that evil pedo tump supporting ex cia company.

  6. 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. docs.google.com/document/d/151 [shared Google Doc]

  7. Just found out that Julian Sutton (JS hereinafter) will be the third tutor at this year’s Halsway D/G weekend, so a little anecdote…

    About ten years ago I went to Melodeons at Witney and JS was one of the tutors. The workshop of his I went to was “all abilities” and I was very much a beginner. It was way, way beyond me and I came away massively frustrated and annoyed that it was not as pitched. Trying to learn “The Great North Run” and “93 Not Out” at great pace, suitable for beginners?! I walked out knowing I’d learnt nothing and wasted that time when I could’ve gained useful knowledge/ technique in a different workshop.

    Fast forward to last year at Halsway when playing in the bar one evening, someone started a tune and I joined in without particular difficulty although I didn’t know it, and also the one they segued into. “What were they?” I asked, “I don’t know them but seemed to be able to play them.” The reply, of course, was “The Great North Run into 93 Not Out.”
    I’m not saying I guarantee I could repeat the capability to just join in and play them, but clearly something had stuck and I’d done JS a great disservice!

  8. By the way: it's Bandcamp Friday today, so go and purchase your wishlisted albums!

    My warm recommendation this time is "Bird Songs" by Miranda Rutter. Inspired by birds and dotted withh beautiful snippets of field recordings, it feels like an hommage to our avian friends. A delightful album that made me laugh and cry. A beautiful match for spring time 🐦

  11. Musical Interlude: Here's another band from the Old Time Festival...Baltimore's resident old time music band, headed by one of the festival's founders. Brad Kolodner not only plays with his band, he hosts a bluegrass radio show and had concerts in his living room. Dude IS music!

    "Margaret's Waltz," performed by Charm City Junction.

  12. Musical Interlude: Here's another act from the Old Time Festival. This Louisiana-based father-and-daughter duo do old time music along with traditional Cajun tunes, like this one.

    The first year I went to Burwell for the music summer school, I was in Andy Cutting's mixed band group, with violins, flutes, whistles and guitars. I stood next to him and we played this as part of our set.

    When we were finished I went outside to phone my wife and cried. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

  14. Oh shit! There's more!!!

    Listen to "Nanny State Fiddler" - a bluegrass song about the dangers of sending unencrypted messages and warrantless wiretaps!

    Cyberpunk / Cypherpunk / Solarpunk Bluegrass is now my favorite genre of music!

    Justin Myles Holmes is great!!!!

  15. Ok, I found the coolest thing ever.

    ===Cyberpunk Bluegrass Music===

    @coreysnipes suggested I look into Bluegrass in addition to my current studies of Irish Trad music as I learn how to play the Irish whistle. That makes sense as a lot of Bluegrass stems from old Irish music.

    In my search for Bluegrass music with Irish whistles, I stumbled across Justin Myles Holmes' "Barlow's Jig".

    And get this... after listening to an Irish whistle, a banjo, a fiddle, and other instruments playing a bluegrass jig...

    ...you hear a voiceover reading of "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996)" written by none other than John Perry Barlow, founding member of the @eff

    John Perry Barlow. Barlow's Jig.

    My worlds have collided.

    Heck, I'd argue that Folk Music + Calls for Digital Independence = Solarpunk !!!

    Give it a listen here (the voiceover starts at 2:45 but listen to the leadup as well):

  17. World War Two was the archetypal good war. And ask any liberal, FDR was the archetypal good president. But don't ask Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie -- The Almanac Singers.[1] They released Songs for John Doe[2] in 1941 and it's full of anti-draft, anti-war, anti-FDR songs, inspired by the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, the first peacetime conscription law ever enacted in the US.[3]

    And are you afraid to fight, Billy boy, Billy boy?
    Are you afraid to fight, charming Billy?
    You can comе around to me when England's a democracy...

    #Lyrics :

    If Jesus Christ came back today
    Like you threaten he will
    Which poor group of people
    Do you think that he would kill
    Who would Jesus choose to starve
    If you gave him the chance
    And if there was a genocide
    Would he take a neutral stance
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would he say "it's complicated
    There's sinners on all sides"
    Or would he say that some people
    They just deserve to die
    If Christ the Savior rose again
    Then on a sidewalk slept
    Would you extend a hand to him
    Or just watch where you stepped

    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would Jesus hate the Gay folks,
    The Queer folks or the Trans
    Would he suggest they end their lives
    According to God's plans
    Would Jesus tell the homeless man
    To get a f*cking job
    Or turn his back on the poor
    Would Jesus be a snob
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"

    Would Jesus Vote Republican
    Or would it be democrat
    Would he be chanting 4 more years
    Or wear a MAGA hat
    Would Jesus run for president
    Or dictator or worse
    Would Jesus be the pastor
    Of his own mega church
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would Jesus build a border wall
    Would Jesus drive a tank
    Would Jesus own an arsenal
    Would Jesus run a bank
    Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
    If he came to your town
    Would you believe in Jesus still
    If Jesus Christ was brown
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"

    Who would Jesus choose to starve
    If you gave him the chance
    And if there was a genocide
    Would he take a neutral stance
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would he say "it's complicated
    There's sinners on all sides"
    Or would he say that some people
    They just deserve to die
    If Christ the Savior rose again
    Then on a sidewalk slept
    Would you extend a hand to him
    Or just watch where you stepped

    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would Jesus hate the Gay folks,
    The Queer folks or the Trans
    Would he suggest they end their lives
    According to God's plans
    Would Jesus tell the homeless man
    To get a f*cking job
    Or turn his back on the poor
    Would Jesus be a snob
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"

    Would Jesus Vote Republican
    Or would it be democrat
    Would he be chanting 4 more years
    Or wear a MAGA hat
    Would Jesus run for president
    Or dictator or worse
    Would Jesus be the pastor
    Of his own mega church
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would Jesus build a border wall
    Would Jesus drive a tank
    Would Jesus own an arsenal
    Would Jesus run a bank
    Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
    If he came to your town
    Would you believe in Jesus still
    If Jesus Christ was brown
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"

    #Lyrics :

    If Jesus Christ came back today
    Like you threaten he will
    Which poor group of people
    Do you think that he would kill
    Who would Jesus choose to starve
    If you gave him the chance
    And if there was a genocide
    Would he take a neutral stance
    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
    The Muslims or the Jews
    I want you to ask yourself
    "What would Jesus do"
    Would he say "it's complicated
    There's sinners on all sides"
    Or would he say that some people
    They just deserve to die
    If Christ the Savior rose again
    Then on a sidewalk slept
    Would you extend a hand to him
    Or just watch where you stepped

    Who would Jesus Bomb
    Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
    Would it be kids in Palestine
    Or how 'bout Vietnam
    Would Jesus bomb the Atheists

  24. The Albion Band’s “Lark Rise to Candleford” was one of my childhood exposures to folk, and I still have my parents vinyl of it. Listening to it again, I had forgotten quite how good it is. Though I appreciate different tracks to I used to, I think that uplifting opening is why I have such affection for “Brighton Camp”.

    Also you can play a guessing game each time you hear a melodeon: is that John Kirkpatrick or John Tams playing it? (What, you didn’t know that Tams could play the box as well as singing, fiddling etc? Shame!)
