Frithcast Extra: Suzanne sings the Song of Her People

As part of our celebrations for reaching our 100th episode, here's a final little extra for you, lovely listeners: 

 

Frithcast Extra – On Ilkley Moor

Things we talk about in this episode:

“These five pieces are worth...one quarter portion.” A line from the lovely Unkar Plutt, in The Force Awakens. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unkar_Plutt

Grog: a mix of an alcoholic drink and water. There’s a neat little history here: https://vinepair.com/articles/the-definitive-history-of-grog/

Counties, Shires, Hundreds and Wappentakes – current and past names for administrative areas in the UK.

Yorkshire dialect –

Lass – a young girl/young woman. From Old Norse ‘lask’ meaning ‘unmarried’

Lek/ Lekkin – to play. From Old Norse ‘laik’ ‘to play’

The Danelaw – the majority of the North of England, based on the area under Danish/ Scandinavian rule in the Middle Ages, the basis of the cultural north/south divide in England. See here for a short histroy: http://legacy.ashmolean.org/anglosaxondiscovery/vikings/vikings-danelaw.html

Sunday cricket matches – often village teams playing in their own local leagues, but to give you a flavour of what it’s like, head here: https://cricketyorkshire.com/yorkshire-cricket-2018/

Last of the Summer Wine: TV series running from 1973 – 2010 about older people in a Yorkshire village. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069602/ and here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/lastofthesummerwine/ Filmed around Holmfirth and it’s surrounds.

Yorkshire coal mines- the coal mining industry was huge in the county of Yorkshire, providing jobs, and in some cases housing for the miners and their families. The industry was nationalised in 1946, and in 1984 the simmering resentment about rates of pay came to a head in a year long strike. Between 1985 and 2015 every pit was shut down, leading to a huge rise in unemployment and anger across the county. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/once-thriving-language-of-the-pits-being-revived-in-yorkshire-coal-mining-exhibition-1-7724590

Bendict Cumberbatch in Dr Strange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange_(2016_film)

You can find lots of recordings of On Ilkla Moor, but Suzanne’s favourite is by the Macclesfield

Male Voice Choir in 2010. In a pub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rjyo3UjGhY
