Gallus Moll Galoshans - who is performing? (7) RE: Galoshans - who is performing? 26 Sep 16


Ronnie Clarke. one of the founders of The Glasgow Ballad Workshop (check website and facebook page) has done some research and found a whole book of scripts; previously I had only seen some fragments in Tocher (School of Scottish Studies magazine)
Someone else I know picked up a copy of Brian Hayward's Galoshins - The Scottish Play in a second hand bookshop(EUP 1992 ISBN07486 0338 7)

I was wondering whether any descendants of emigrants to Canada, Australia etc would have family stories / memories of Galoshins, or if anyone has collected these?

Thanks Kenny for the Dave Francis info - I'll ask him about it!
Glasgow Ballads Workshop is looking forward to having Fiona, Trish and co - the Meadows Mummers - to perform in Spring, I think the last Sunday in March, tbc with Ronnie!

Anyone free to attend the Galoshins festival at Greenock's Beacons Arts Centre (near Greenock central Rail Station) over the last w/e of October should check the website for programme details.
