It smells of beer and muddy fields, which is pretty much as good as life gets in my ferally inclined opinion.

I used to use the term Feral Folk to describe to sort of stuff we were doing out and about in the rare owld times when I was more inclined to get out and about and do such things than I am now. Feral Folk was wild, of the earth; it was ceremony and ritual; it was tied directly into seasons and the land; it was wild, licentious, and fraught with dangers. Sadly, in the context of that thread, Feral Folk simply means those who are performing or organising a public folk gig outside of the normal Folk Club / Festivals structure . Methinks we should claim it back to give it the significance it deserves!
