Learn and sign waulking songs with Joy Dunlop.
Waulking was the end stage in homespun tweed production. A group of women and girls would rhythmically beat the cloth on a hard table, to shrink and soften it. Waulking songs would be sung throughout the process – with one woman singing the verses and the others joining in the choruses. Joy Dunlop, Mod Gold Medalist and multi-prize winning Gaelic Singer, leads this interactive workshop.
This workshop will run from 10:30am-12:00pm on Saturday 30 January.
Age restrictions: 16+ years
