I didn't realise Stone Club and The Folk Review were run by @lallymacbeth.bsky.social, author of The Lost Folk (a must read if you're interested in folklore, its history, and who decides what gets remembered)! Count me in for a new zine all about weird folkloric beasts... 💙📚💀 #Folklore

To get out of my funk I took myself to Painswick St. Marys Church which I had read about in @lallymacbeth.bsky.social 's lost folk. I came for the unique kneelers (more next post) but found wonderful skull friends on the graves

If @thefolkarchive.bsky.social is to be believed (and we definitely should believe them - The Lost Folk is a brilliant book), then these little local festivals should be cherished. Ham Farm Festival in Bristol was great. @bristol247.bsky.social share.google/zyN93VILTqk7...

Review: Ham Farm Festival - 'A hidden gem'

A folk festival hidden in a garden tucked in a suburban corner of Emerson's Green... Who knew?!
