A PTO request form for May 1, 2025. Under "Add comment" the text box reads: "Gotta wake up early to make sure the sun comes up"
Call for resources! Does anyone have access to paid-for elements of RAJAR that I could borrow? I'm writing about traditional folk music's relationship with radio in one of my thesis chapters, + some additional stats would be extremely helpful! #AcademicChatter #PhDChat #AcademicSky #TradFolk #PhDSky
The Young’uns
Saw The Young’uns last night at Pontardawe and it was a lovely evening of great songs, laughter and stories. What more can you ask for!

Choreography notated for a contra dance called Waxmyrtle. At the top is a note saying "16 bar slip jig contra - empty space added for formatting." Each section A1, A2, B1, B2 has 12 beats of choreography and then a final four beat simply notated "it's a slip jig," 'it's still a slip jig," "i think you see where this is going," and "slip jiiiiiig"
"Falshoods programmers believe about contra dances"

Day 89 of 365 🐦⬛ THE LARK IN THE MORNING — more widely known version by #steeleyeSpan. I love how different arrangements bring out such violently contrasting possibilities from the same song… see yesterday’s for the Johnstons version. #birdsinfolklore #birdsinfolksong #tradfolk #acapella
a deceptively melodic little slice of #tradfolk #music that puts you in a calm, almost stationary spot, feeling the static landscape — then narratively yanks you out across years & casts of characters as the lyric unfolds. What a joy it’s been to learn it today 🙏.
Many contra dance callers use The Caller’s Box, a phenomenal dance choreography database from Chris Page and Michael Dyck. For those of us who primarily call gender free dances, though, using it requires mental translation from gendered role terms to gender neutral ones. I’ve created a browser […]
