À propos de ce contenu audio

Who decides what stories are remembered? Can anyone make a stone circle? And when we talk about old folk rituals and songs, who are the folk we are choosing to remember?

In this four part series, Meg Elliot explores folk traditions in their many guises. Her quest takes her from a Ceiligh hall in central London in the search for lost folk songs, to a Glasgow housing estate to visit a new ‘ancient’ stone circle, and over hillsides across the UK talking to artists and singers and folk revivalists.

The programmes explore the ways in which our identities are formed in part by tales, places and music. It looks at the potential heritage has, as an experience of the past in the present, to rewrite established narratives and re-empower communities at the heart of these stories.

      5. Ritual Revival - a bonus episode
      Feb 25 2025

      There’s something in the air. People are practising hundreds of years old traditions. Morris dancers are clamouring to squeeze into town squares and stick men are dancing through the streets.

      One ritual - forgotten until winter 2024 - is about to be revived in one small market town on the Welsh-English border. It’s Wren Day.

      In this bonus episode of Heart and Stone, Meg Elliot goes in search of the power of storytelling in one of its most visceral forms, by reviving a forgotten folk ritual in her hometown and with her community.

      Meg asks what ritual really is; if the resurgence of ritualistic activty is just an eccentric hobby or if it's something richer, more magical and transformative than most think?

      4. Legacy of Land
      Feb 25 2025

      Is the countryside really ours to freely explore when half of England is owned by just 1% of its population?

      Across the UK, people are breaking the stereotypes and myths surrounding who can have access to our natural spaces.

      Meg joins the Muslim Hikers on Kinder Scout in the Peak District, the site of the first mass trespass in 1932. She also speaks with Guy Shrubsole, author of ‘Who Owns England’ and academic and poet, Emily Zobel Marshall.

      Feb 25 2025

      In this episode of Heart & Stone, Meg Elliot delves into the changing world of British folk music, asking who is remembered in folk stories and song, and who has been written out?

      Beginning in the breath-taking joy of a ceilidh dance, Meg meets Sophie Crawford and George Samson of Queer Folk, a group unearthing songs that document and celebrate the LGBTQ+ experience. Meg also meets singer/songwriter Angeline Morrison, who has created the first body of Black British folk song.
