Celtic Connections 2025 Proudly Presents Sing Waulking Songs with Joy Dunlop

St Kilda Gallery, 13:30 – 14:00

Waulking Songs with Joy Dunlop

Waulking was the end stage in homespun tweed production. A group of women and girls would rhythmically beat the cloth on a hard table, to shrink and soften it. Waulking songs would be sung throughout the process – with one woman singing the verses and the others joining in the choruses.

Joy Dunlop, Mod Gold Medallist and multi-prize winning Gaelic Singer, leads this interactive workshop. 

There are another two Waulking Songs session on Sunday 26th January with Kaitlin Ross and Saturday 1st February with Catherine Tinney.

Age Range 16+
