A post by me on the amazing discovery recently made in the @unimelb library (@unilibrary): a bunch of early modern broadside ballads! You can also find them online at @EBBA_Ballads and @BodleianBallads but handling them in person was such a treat! @ArtsUnimelb

'A Family Stricture' is about the demands of having children. 'The greatest madness imaginable, if we rightly consider all things' @BodleianBallads #TradSongTues #FamilySongs

Had a great time introducing some people from @mylifemychoice1 to songs from the @BodleianBallads archives today. Here we are making a calm/choppy sea and singing The Ballad of Flora and James - about two sailors who go off to war together. #inclusivefolk #access #musicforall
