Very excited about this today, on the early train down from Sheffield.
We’ve been working with @_dodo and @sheffielduni and @uniofeastanglia academics on a resource highlighting contributions of #Gypsy and #Traveller singers to our archive collections, and folk song more widely. We launch it this weekend at @strumpshawfair. efdss.org/about-us/what-we-d…

It's the 6th of June in Sweden: "...A knight rides home to his betrothed: because she has sent for him: because he has heard that she is ill or dead. When he arrives she is dead: He is advised to get another bride but says he will never find her equal: He dies from grief."
