The Three Ravens Podcast Forgotten Melodies #9: Drinking Songs
We may have missed releasing the episode on St Patrick's Day, but it's always happy hour somewhere!
On this month's episode of Forgotten Melodies we're priming the pubs and pouring out several rounds of refreshing chat about Drinking Songs - while also discussing the history of alehouses in Britain!
The new arrangements of classic Drinking Songs in this episode include Bring Us In Good Ale, All For Me Grog and The Barley Mow, with Ben finally cutting loose with the spoons he received as a gift for Christmas!
From the first recorded taverns in these islands, built and frequented by the Romans, through to stage coaches and the era of Inns, the 18th century Gin Craze through to the pubs we know and love today, it might get a bit woozy, but don't worry - we'll make sure you get home safe.
Plus, Ben has included a quiz this time, all about pub terminology!
We really hope you enjoy it and will speak to you again on Wednesday for our April Update episode!
The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.
Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...
Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.
With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
