“They say you might go to the bad place if you sing a naughty song or two. Me, I’d define a ‘bad place’ as anywhere you can’t sing a naughty song or two.”
~Oscar Brand
We thought we’d let AI write this.
We regret it.
Bawdy songs and backroom ballads are a genre of folk music that features humorous, risqué, or obscene lyrics. They often deal with topics such as sex, drinking, gambling, or crime.
Now, every Faire has its own rules about when to bring children. We’d say this one’s not appropriate for kids under the age of 13 or so. But your mileage may vary. Beware, though! Terry Pratchett has it on good authority that The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered AT All. (Check the Discworld Wiki for that one: The Hedgehog Can Never be Buggered at All | Discworld Wiki | Fandom )
We’ll be doing sing-alongs of some classic bawdy tunes, many of them literally over a hundred years old. It’s fascinating, educational, and rather on the dirty side.
This workshop is for adults; while most things will above childrens’ heads, we ask that, if parents do want to bring children, please keep it to older children, and accompany them.
