Welcome to Uncommon Folk!
An exploration of folk traditions, myths, stories and culture, from stand-up comedians, writers and folklore enthusiasts Dan Mitchell and Col Howarth.
A what? A horse's skull? On a stick? At the front door?
In this debut episode Dan and Col explore the Welsh mid-winter wassailing tradition of the Mari Lwyd: what it is, its origins and what it means to people today, from a personal as well as a cultural perspective.
Dan and Col explore reasons for the Mari Lwyd's incredible revival not only across Wales, but internationally. In this episode they join a Mari Lwyd event in Llantrisant and sing songs for mince pies and tea; they bang pots and pans at an annual wassail, and meet people who observe, preserve and revive the tradition today.
