Christmas is coming! Buy our stuff!

We’ve set up a shop with Spreadshirt, which means that our range of T-shirts and stuff is now HUGE! It’s print on demand so a wee bit more expensive, but it means that it’s absolutely guaranteed you’ll find something you and all your friends, family, plumbers, butlers etc etc will want. Beltane baby onesies! Beltane sofa pillows! Beltane hoodies! Wherever possible we’ve stuck to Organic as we’re into looking after our soil, but we appreciate the need for variety and the ravenous never-ceasing need for STUFF! I personally am going to write a stiff letter to Spreadshirt why they haven’t yet included pants and socks.

If there’s something that you’re not seeing, please buzz us via the Contact page here.

The new shop is embedded here on the website but also directly at https://beltane-border.myspreadshop.co.uk/

As of 25th November there’s a 15% sale off clothing so HURRY!!

Are you ready?

We were gone, but now we’re back. Being the law-abiding anarchic Morris folk that we are, we waited until it was fully legal and above board to gather the our horde-like numbers, and weave our dances (for that read: stand on each others’ feet in a semi-rhythmic fashion) in a forgotten corner of the moor, readying ourselves for bothering innocent pub-goers another day.

Lots has happened in the last year and a bit, as you may be aware. And in that time we’ve morphed and changed along with the rest of the world. We look a bit different now, arguably better. Some of us have hung up our tatters, and others of us have created new small humans to bolster future Beltane numbers in a year or fifteen.

Starting at the Welcome Stranger in Liverton on July 22nd, we will be performing at Devon pubs most Thursday evenings until September. There’s a pirate day in Paignton one weekend too. Our calendar will reveal all such mysteries.

So, come see us before we’re all locked down again and the summer has been washed away by the angry climate gods.

MUSICIANS WANTED!

Beltane is recruiting! Come and join our kick-ass band this year and get ready for when we unleash ourselves on the unwitting public sometime soon. We are looking for musicians across the board - fiddle, recorder, guitar, bass, DRUMS! Intermediate level probably useful, and ability to memorise tunes and chords eventually. We’ll be holding informal auditions and trial practises over the coming weeks so please get in touch ASAP with interest and questions! Please use the contact form here - https://www.beltaneborder.co.uk/contact or our Facebook page - it will all go to the same place. See you there.

New stuff in our shop

Our shop was looking a bit bare for a while there, but now, on top of our new and amazing cds and some other stuff we found at the bottom of our travelling merch bag, we have smooth and sultry new Tshirts, vests and long Ts in the classic black and white combo. We’ve all loaded up on them ourselves, but there’s a good few left to show your allegiance to the Beltane cause.

Just in case you’re wondering, the proceeds from our sales and hat-takings go towards rental of practise hall, transport costs to our summer festivals, and making sure as many of our corvid family can get to our outs and events as possible. And.. some rum. Not much.

Also, this release of Tshirts and stuff is proudly organic and allegedly climate-neutral. So, wear your Beltane allegiance with pride, and somewhat less guilt.

Thanking you x

>>>>>>>> NEW CD!!!!!!!!!! <<<<<<<<

Can you tell we’re excited?!

This has been long in the making. Live recordings of our new and traditional dances, songs of protest and rebellion both from history and brand new, penned by our members. 53 and a bit minutes of pure dark morris-y folky bliss, just to transport you back to that heady moment you went to the pub to watch the match, but it was ruined by some weirdos making a racket. Ah, what a night that turned out to be. So yes, please be ye transported to our online shoppe, where we be flogging these beauties for a mere £5, either tangible or non-tangible. ONLY £5? We be trippin’.

We’re not allowed to say this while peddling these on the street corners, so we’re going to say it loud and proud here.. 10% of our sales will be donated to The Woodland Trust. The CD is called Ravaged Oak, in remembrance of varied protests to save our beloved trees across the country. Though those magnificent beings may now be gone, we support the efforts the likes the Woodland Trust make to save our ancient forests, and re-wild to start again. We hope you’re with us.

Totnes Christmas Market >> RESCHEDULED <<

Dearly beloved.. hoping that you didn’t travel thousands upon thousands of miles to see us last night on the High Street in Totnes, only to find bedraggled spectres, ghouls, and, somewhat incongruously, a huge tumbleweed roll down the hill. If so, apologies, but high winds ceased play for the whole market (glossing over that the winds had stopped by the evening.. shhh).

Be ye of great cheer, as we have rescheduled with the Elders of ye Christmasse Market to play next week, same time, same place, same £4 cups of mulled wine out of the “Mulled wine” bottle.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 17th, 8pm, Totnes Civic Hall (well, in front of. You can’t miss us)
