Hello all!

There's a new monthly podcast all about taking old English Folk songs and reimagining them. It's called Old Tunes Fresh Takes.

It is a community-based show, which asks musicians of all backgrounds to produce new versions of English Folks songs, and share them online. Submissions are then discussed on the podcast.

One episode has already been released and focuses on 'The Cruel Mother'.

The next episode will focus on 'The Bitter Withy'.

Information for how to take part can be found here.

Please share with any music makers or those who you think might be interested.

All the best

John

Judging by the complete lack of response,
it seems mudcat may not be an appropriate place for new people discovering traditional folk music,
by attempting different approaches to trad folk music..


Apparently, not much enthusiasm or support here for optimistic imagination and experimentation...???

I may or may not enjoy some of the 'reimaginations' but at least I'll try listening out of interest...
