FHR Edinburgh Event – Third Reveal

fertilitycult

TEASER 2.jpg

Our next two announcements for The Unseelie Court are:
Folklore Tapes– an open-ended research project exploring the vernacular arcana of Great Britain and beyond; traversing the myths, mysteries, magic and strange phenomena of the old counties via abstracted musical reinterpretation and experimental visuals. The driving principle of the project is to bring the nation’s folk record to life, to rekindle interest in the treasure trove of traditional culture by finding new forms for its expression.They will be performing at the evening event.

And joining us for the day event is Sally-Anne Huxtable, Principal Curator of Modern & Contemporary Design at National Museums Scotland, Editor of the Review of the Pre-Raphaelite Society, and a dabbler in the Dark Arts, who will be talking on Folk Horror and The Pre-Raphaelites.

On behalf of all Revivalists and the FHR Administration Cabal, we would like to extend Congratulations and our Very Best Wishes to Kat and Matt Peach on their wedlock. This is (to our knowledge) the first Folk Horror Revival wedding. ❤

Kat and Matt first met on Facebook via the Folk Horror Revival group and in time their friendship blossomed to love across the ocean. Both Kat and Matt went on to become FHR Administrators and very valued contributors to our Wyrd Harvest Press books and our British Museum event. (You may have met them greeting guests and attendees.)

In addition to FHR and that loving business, Kat and Matt have worked together creatively within the music spheres as Wandering Eldar, The Stone Tapes and the force behind Hare’s Breath Records

Blessings and Best Wishes to you both.  ❤

If any other Revivalists have found love through our group, please let us know over at – www.facebook.com/groups/folkhorror/
