Do you know any "work songs"? Or books/documentaries etc about such folk music traditions?
Wiki definition: A work song is a piece of music closely connected to a form of work, either one sung while conducting a task (usually to coordinate timing) or one linked to a task that may be a connected narrative, description, or protest song.
I would love to learn more work songs and traditions - especially related to agriculture and cooking 💚 Thanks!
Can someone tell me the name of a uk folk song that's got a good rhythm to walk to and doesn't involve death. Please. My brain has offered up Molly Malone and then given up and whilst that's very rhythmic it isn't quite the vibe I'm after. #AmWriting #OrTryingTo #FolkSongs #FolkSinging
The Voyage tour continues apace, but that doesn't mean we don't have a new song for you! Come hear Old Bloke Picking On a Banjo!

Having a wee warble with my #shrutibox this evening. 'Lullay My Liking' is a #15thcentury English Christmas carol and lullaby - the word 'lullaby' derives from the Middle English 'lullen' and is thought to have originated from sounds used by mothers to lull their infants to sleep. Hoping to record a full (and better quality) version of this for my #patreon soon! #christmascarol #lullaby #folksongs #englishfolkmusic #folksinging
Good evening #folx, and welcome to today's edition of Kathy's #connectionlist #connection #introduction, where I curate a collection of interesting people and surface them - to connect us all more richly and deeply on the #Fediverse.
@pbone is a Mozillian and I'll be forever grateful to him and the Aussie team who made me so welcome as a part-timer. Thank you, Paul! 🇦🇺
@venessap is another #Geelong lady and she's also a #PhD candidate and she's a #moderation and #governance specialist 🇦🇺
@judy2k is class all the way down! Jk, jk, but that is one of my favourite presentations of his. You can catch it here:

I met @gavintapp through the #opendata and #govhack communities - and he's into #data 🇦🇺
@rana is new to #Mastodon and I'd like everyone to say hello and make her feel welcome, please. Welcome, Rana! 👋
@pdcawley has a mighty fine #beard and they are a #folk singer #folksinging. They are also into #bread and #breadmaking. This means they have enough points to become an honorary Melbourne / Naarm person. There's a points system :-) 🇬🇧
@kimberlee is a Professor of #law in #Sydney and a long-time friend of the Aussie #opensource community 🇦🇺
@joncruz is amazing and if you've ever used #Inkscape you have Jon to thank. Thank you so much, Jon! Hope you're well! 🇺🇸
