Here’s a glorious rendition of Hamish Henderson’s “Freedom Come-All-Ye”, sung by Karine Polwart in the Italian Chapel, Orkney. The chapel was built & decorated by Italian POWs during WW2 using scraps & reclaimed materials, & is still in use today

Roch the wind in the clear day’s dawin
Blaws the cloods heelster-gowdie ow’r the bay,
But there’s mair nor a roch wind blawin
Through the great glen o’ the warld the day…

“One of the beastly sins of modern Scotland [is] that it’s a bit ashamed of the rich, riotous, very bawdy but also high spirited kindly & generous past.”

I've updated my thesis title - probably not for the last time but I like it for now:

Hegemony and counter-hegemony in the Scottish Folk Revival: a critical folklore study of 'Gramsci in action'

Shit, sounds real.

#Hegemony #Gramsci #Marxist #Folklore #FolkCulture #FolkMusic #Folk #FolkSong #Revival #Scotland #Scottish #Culture #CulturalStudies #CriticalFolklore #PhD #PhDStudent #PhDLife

I've pinned and reboosted my #introduction, but I thought I'd have another bash round the potted summary of hashtags as I try to reconnect with stuff lost in the past few days.

#folklore is pretty much the most important to me - I'm an #academic #folklorist, do #fieldwork, think & write about #folkloristics, and really really REALLY like hanging out with/listening to other #folklorists.

I started off with #folk, #folksong, #folkmusic, ended up doing a PhD on #ghostlore #ghosts #ghost but love/am interested in all sorts of stuff, like #cannibalism, #rats, #folkhorror

Other important things:
#surrealism #fantomas #Dowland #Classics #Berlioz

Live on #isleofwight, like at the end of Day of the Triffids.
