Padstow Obby Oss May Song
As previously mentioned I had the pleasure of visiting Padstow to see the May Day Obby Oss’s parade around the town accompanied by troupes of accordionists and drummers and a great chorus of townsfolk singing their May Song, powerful stuff! There is some extraordinary Pathe footage of this tradition from 1932 and 1953 and I have some footage of my own trip up on the great tubes of you which also plays out the end of my version here. It was actually Malcolm Taylor, long time head librarian at the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, who first showed me a documentary about this before I’d ever heard of it. I was so struck to see anything like this existing in England and I think seeing that is a huge reason as to why I am still mystified by these things. So, thanks Malcolm.

Alt/Psych/Wyrd folk release from the UK’s Kerry Andrew. Crystal clear vocals, with keyboards, recorder, pipes, cello, bass and electric guitars, banjolele, trumpet, and various percussive elements. Here, they cover traditional tunes, as well as offering original pieces, with a watery theme. Eerie and evocative, the pieces often start simply and veer off into something else entirely.
