I'm only coming from the perspective of Ireland and Spain (Just Cataluña really) but "golliwogs" (the racist dolls mentioned above) havent been a thing since the 80s (still recent enough to merit discussion but not something ive ever seen in my living lifetime) and while the dutch are definitely very weirdly defensive about their "Minstrel Shows" (the festive blackface) I cant say I'm familiar with any other european yuletide traditions that are still practiced today that are particularly racist/offensive (I am open and encouraging folks to challenge me on this with citation btw). Anway, let me share with you some actually good european winter solsticetime traditions. In Ireland we sit around and drink from dawn til dusk around a warm fire with friends and family because its too fucking cold out and most everyone has work off, and we watch prince of egypt / ben hur / high school musical. Theres not really a name for it, thats just what christmas day/stevens day is about. As for a more localised tradition, remember that bit where I said its too fucking cold out? Yea well aparently all the leaded fuel really did a number on us Dubliners because come christmas day, without fail you'll see folks congregate at docksides, launches and beaches all around Dublin for a 'Christmas Swim'. Now, diving into briny water in late december at the same lattitude as Hudson Bay (thats in Canada), should probably be a death sentence, but Irish waters are fed into by a series of warm atlantic currents, so while still being pretty cold, its actually not terrible to swim in. And yea, people just go do it, on christmas day, because there wasnt shit else to do on christmas day back in the day. I dont know if this tradition extends to other coastal areas of the country but it probably does, maybe not up north cus its fuckass cold up there.

Now in Cataluña, *smacks lips* oh theyve got the best shit ever.

First of all, the nativity scene, the iconic centrepiece of christmas, such a pristine diorama, youve got the iconic trio joseph, mary and joseph, the donkey that worked so hard to get them here, some gentle well kempt shepherds, angels, cherubs, a divine star, theres even three kings that happened to be passing through town...but arent you forgetting someone? Arent you forgetting the most important figure in the nativity? Arent you forgetting...

EL CAGANER

Or to roughly translate: the shiterrrrrrrrrrrr

This guys a little figurine included in the nativity scene, typically placed outside the stable (the guy has a sense of decency he just had to go is all) its a predominantly Catalan tradition, but its common down the mediteranean coast and even Portugal and Naples.

Traditionally its just a little peasant guy wearing a red catalan beretina but theres shops around Barcelona where you can get celebrity Caganers.

this shit is better than funkopops in literally every conceivable way

But you know whats also a classic scatalogical festive season tradition in Cataluña?

Tió de Nadal

Look at this jolly little guy! Originally he didnt have the face or the legs and wasnt so small, once upon a time he was just a big log that you dragged into the house and assigned some personhood to for the hollywood season. Starting from the feast of the immaculate conception, every night before bedtime you give the tio a little bite to eat, and is covered in a red blanket to stay warm, then on chirstmas day or christmas eve, the kids beat the tio with sticks while singing songs, usually with lyrics ordering tio to defecate. After all the song and dance is done, you lift the blanket up and low and behold, tio has shit you out a beautiful pile of presents! Typically comprised of nuts, torons, candies, dried fruits and small toys, what a swell guy! Anyway, to get back to the topic of the post, im not trying to detract from the broad points, but for real it was kinda making it sound like every European country is the Netherlands and we're all out here cheering on blackface on christmas day. Again, if anyone knows of any other sickeningly offensive european holiday season festivities let me know, Im open to education and not just making shit up about other peoples of the world.

my only advice is to BE CAREFUL posting about holiday traditions around europeans. you'll post something casual like "anyone else watch the old Grinch movie every year? what a classic" and a european will appear as if summoned and say some shit like "funny how USAmericans always CONVENIENTLY forget that Not Everyone On Earth is from The USA…….. no of COURSE we dont watch 'the grunch' or whatever the fuck that is…. our tradition is to attend a community showing of Glummdorf the Racial Stereotype"

Beth Gibbons and Thom Yorke singing the ‘The Rip’ at Lattitude Festival 2015 is every Portishead and Radiohead fan’s dream come true

[aurora-daily]

I struggle to find a comprehensive list of shows Aurora is performing. I want to know all her upcoming UK dates. So far I know of 2 Dublin shows, Lattitude Festival and Glastonbury Festival as well as a gig for charity. If she announces more I'd like an easy place to check rather than search festival announcements to see if she's listed.

Songkick seems well aware of the shows here. There’s always the list on her official website but some shows are not listed… Those are the only ones I check personally!

Ideas for community project images

I took this first image when I went to Lattitude music festival in 2019. It's of my little sister on one of my friends shoulders... I love how you can see people in the background and the sun beginning to set.

I took these images while I was in Tanzania on a 2017 school exchnage trip... I feel as though they capture community perfectly but community of a different culture.

PHOTOS: SWEAT Live at Lattitude 30 - British Music Embassy (SXSW)

The British Music Embassy was back in Austin and once again took quarters at Lattitude 30, a cozy venue that gets equipped with the most modern technology during festival time. Seeing artists perform in that venue and its beautifully lit stage is a great joy in itself yet some of the acts we saw there also managed to delight through their music and their stage presence.

One band that is very high up on this list is SWEAT, a quintet from South London. Listening through Sweat’s songs on Spotify and SoundCloud, I knew I wanted to see them live and they did not disappoint!

Frontman Dante Traynor is a charismatic performer and knows how to captivate the audience and the band’s edgy indie pop songs were beautifully brought to life. This was definitely an inspired and inspiring show  and one I remember fondly. Looking forward to learn what’s up next for SWEAT.

She Moves - Chapter 9 - Forty Fest and Alf Fairweather cont...

 (Lattitude Festival 2009 - Sunrise Stage)

After his failure to see us play at Latitude, Alf bought Libellus, my first album.  

                                                    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/libellus/id308485701

Then later in 2010 when I began crowd funding for Alive, he was one of the first to pledge.  We later met at gigs along the way – The Union Chapel, and then in a Café Nero in Ipswich! Then in 2012 with the Banshee And The Moon, he pledged again.  This time not just for an album but also for a painting I had done. 

Suffice to say Alf has been an amazing supporter, and a friend.  So, it was a real honour to be asked to play as his fortieth.  No ordinary bash, but a three-day festival that included a marathon of early star wars movies, a lot of food and a night out in a pink pub!

                                                             I arrived on 21st (night after my own birthday gathering) to said pink pub near a river, near a dock in the dark, and was greeted by a slightly overwhelmed and exhausted Alf.  I think the reality of organising Forty fest was far less fun than he had anticipated.  Nevertheless he was in fine spirits and happily dishing out passes for artists, guests, demanding small children and showing the way to the bar.  There was even a program of Forty fest events.

                                                             The night progressed and by 10 most folks were well on their way.. or was that just Alf, whose fantastic introductory speeches, to acts and general goings on were priceless.  I think someone was even acknowledged as being a great friend but a twat because he stole his Haribo age 5, this was met with great giggles from all members of the audience bar the Haribo thief.   

                                                              It was great night and I loved playing all the old songs for Alf and a couple of new ones and had great natter to his mum.  We even got a bed for the night.  Good old Ipswich Premier Inn.  Have to say it was the best nights kip I had had in a long while.

  Thank you Alf and happy birthday! X T
