  • Summary

  • In todays winter celebration of an episode we explore the glorious Welsh tradition of the Mari Lwyd.


    She is a skull covered in the ribbons of a bride, The Grey Mare, or Holy Mary. She is many things, she is neither dead nor alive, if you're cold then she's cold.


    Down the cold dark back streets of London's Kings Cross a warm welcome awaits. Every year to celebrate the end of winter the Mari Lwyd makes her rounds of the local pubs ready to sing and have a rap battle as only a horses skull in a shroud can do.


    Expect bad Welsh pronunciation, ale, singing, and hopefully the beginning of spring!
