Questions About This Episode

What is Episode 182 - GATHERINGS about?

The British ritual year is full of fascinating public events, sports, games, processions and festivals. Whether long-running or modern, revival or continuous, there is something for everyone and a rich background of folklore and tradition behind them all. A new 6-part documentary series, "Gatherings", shines a light on some of these, but in an unusual way. No presenter. No celebrity. No narrative. Gatherings presents the events as the onlookers would see them, along with interviews with organisers, participants and visitors. In this episode of the podcast, I meet with the director Dave Brewis to learn more about how the series came about, the ethos behind it and, of course, the events themselves. You can learn more about Gatherings, and find out how to watch, at Support the Folklore Podcast and get extra content, as either a free member or on a supporter's tier, at The Folklore Podcast is an independent podcast.
