Waulking Songs with Kaitlin Ross
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.
A fine new voice on the much-revived Scottish Gaelic folk scene, Kaitlin Ross will lead this interactive workshop.
There are two other Waulking Songs sessions on Saturday 18th January with Joy Dunlop and Saturday 3rd February with Catherine Tinney.
