A storming collection of songs, poetry and prose for the winter 2014/15 Drive The Cold Winter Away by Green Diesel from the album “Wayfarers All” Winter Singing by The Imagined Village from the album “Bending The Dark” The Running Fox by The Young ‘Uns from the album “Never Forget” Sparrow by Peter Lacey from the album “Last Leaf” Song For A Winter’s Night by Reid Jamieson from the album “Songs For A Winter’s Night” I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A magical thing And sweet to remember. ‘We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,’ I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. ~ Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing Winter King by Ninebarrow from the album “When The Blackthorn Burns” When Springtime Comes Around by Mark Ellis from the album “When Springtime Comes Around” A Season In Your Arms by Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar from the album “The Call” December Song by KC Barber from the album “Cold Wind Blowing” “The shed of leaves became a cascade of red and gold and after a time the trees stood skeletal against a sky of weathered tin. The land lay bled of its colors. The nights lengthened, went darker, brightened in their clustered stars. The chilled air smelled of woodsmoke, of distances and passing time. Frost glimmered on the morning fields. Crows called across the pewter afternoons.” ~ James Carlos Blake, Wildwood Boys Through The Winter by George Boomsma from the EP “Through The Winter” “He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter…. In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity.” ~ John Burroughs, The Snow-Walkers Red Deer White Snow by Stooshie from the album “Stydd” “I put up a petition annually, for as much snow, hail, frost, or storm, of one kind or other, as the skies can possibly afford us. Surely every body is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a winter fire-side: candles at four o’clock, warm hearth-rugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies on the floor, whilst the wind and rain are raging audibly without…” ~ Thomas De Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater Weather by Rainbow Chasers from the album “Chimes At Midnight” Icicles by Miranda Sykes from the album “Bliss” The days are short, The sun a spark Hung thin between The dark and dark. Fat snowy footsteps Track the floor, And parkas pile up Near the door. The river is A frozen place Held still beneath The trees’ black lace. The sky is low. The wind is gray. The radiator Purrs all day. ~ John Updyke, January Gloomy Winter by Shine from the album “Sugarcane” “The English winter—ending in July, To recommence in August…” ~ Lord Byron “There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.” ~ Billy Connolly Highland Snow by Andi Butler from the album “Six Songs” “Winter is not a season; it’s an occupation.” ~ Sinclair Lewis Winter Fever by Kyle Carey from the album “North Star” Think of winter and think of snows but in England that’s not how it goes. Here blizzards are as rare as a placid child, English winters are wet and mild and wild with gales and gnawing damp that dull the days and put a cramp on life out of doors. So we don’t dash through crystal drifts but trudge and splash as the rain and drizzle floods and flows and dewdrops drip from off our nose. Then, soaked and raw, we go home quick … and turn the heating up a click. ~ Phil Widdows, English Winter January Sky by Charlie Mosbrook from the album “Something To Believe” “Winter is nature’s way of saying, ‘Up yours!’.” ~ Robert Byrne Harbour View Hotel by Duncan McCrone from the album “Colourblind” “February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March.” ~ Dr. J.R. Stockton Storm by Nigel Brown from the album “Mother Ivey” See the ShowNotes at www.folkcast.co.uk

Greetings, and welcome to the FolkCast Halloween Scream for 2014, a special show featuring My Babies…, an original tale of terror about a folk tradition which, for some, has a gruesome intensity. So, this is not suitable for those of a nervous disposition, or whose imaginations tend to get the better of them when darkness falls, the wind howls, and when the veil between the worlds becomes thinnest. It’s not something to play to your babies, either. Not yet. Save it until they are old enough to know that what they imagine and what is real are not always the same thing. Not … always. BUT, if you’re willing to take the risk of a shiver or a shock, please - lock all your doors and windows, turn off all distractions, sit back and be comfortable for the next 20 minutes while I tell you all about My Babies… +~+ My Babies… is written, presented and produced by Phil Widdows Intro music taken from: Jack-O-Lantern Waltz by The Similar Trends – from the album ‘Man In The Moon’ - “Earth/Moon Dance Music”: The Hangman’s Waltz by Daisy Chapman – from the album ‘Shameless Winter’ - Closing Song: The Pumpkin Song (I Long To Be A Jack-O’-Lantern) by Paul Borgese and the Strawberry Traffic Jam – from the album ‘Songs For Halloween’ See our website: www.folkcast.co.uk
