The theme for next week's #TradSongTues is #Holidays. What does this mean to you? A place, an event, a celebration?
The #TradSongTues team will be going on their holidays after next week and taking a break for August, so let's make the next one count!

Extra special thanks to everyone who came to support the #FolkFactory ensembles last night – my mate @DavidMo13568970 & I calculated that we have been playing music together in various ensembles for 50 years as a result of being first encouraged at school

Lovely interview here with @tuosmusic alumna @lizhankscello with a nice shout out for @SoundpostMusic too! #sheffieldissuper
.@lizhankscello is our latest ‘Off the Shelf’ guest, in which we ask artists to present objects from a shelf or shelves from their home and talk about them - essentially, storytelling through objects. Liz’s new album, Land, is out now on @hudson_records. folkradio.co.uk/2023/07/off-…

Fay Hield sings The Old 'arris Mill

Our stockin’s are all full of holes
An’ our clogs they are losin’ their soles;
Our shawls are all torn
And our petticoats are worn,
We’d be better off diggin’ coal.
