Book Review

James Frost - Animal Guising and the Kentish Hooden Horse Ozaru Books

This very interesting book is basically a very detailed guide to the history of various forms of animal guising found in the UK, but is centred around the Kentish traditions of the Hooden Horse and Hoodening. The author has also organised a comprehensive exhibition at Maidstone Museum from 8th February to 17th June 2023 which I have not yet had a chance to get to. The book consolidates what is known about the Hooden Horse and draws on previously published material ranging from Percy Maylam’s “The Hooden Horse, An East Kent Christmas Custom” published in Canterbury in 1909, to George Frampton’s “Discordant Comicals, The Hooden Horse of East Kent” published in 2018. It also draws on the knowledge of, and includes contributions, from Ben Jones of The St Nicholasat-Wade Hoodeners and Geoff Doel from Tonbridge Mummers. There are numerous illustrations, some old and some new. The book is broken into sections covering the history, the exhibition, Hoodening today, life as a Hoodener and the appendixes include modern Hoodening verses from Phil Martin, Gail Duff and Sonia Overall, as well as the scripts to some modern Hoodening plays from Whitstable, Canterbury, St Nicholas-at-Wade and others. The history section covers Northern Beasts, Mari Lwyd of Wales, Hobby Horses, Obby Osses, Stag Guising and other traditions, as well as the Hooden Horse. The author, James Frost, is a freelance curator, artist, designer and puppeteer and teaches classes in theatre design at Canterbury Christchurch University and is a visiting lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London and Birmingham City University. The book can be read as a standalone guide to animal guising or in conjunction with a visit to the museum exhibition.

CD Review

O’Hooley & Tidow - Cloudheads

No Masters Co-operative NMCD57

Two people who have become nationally well known on the folk in recent years are Belinda O’Hooley and Heidi Tidow. Like many people I first heard them singing the theme song to BBC TV’s Gentleman Jack and later had the good fortune to see them live on stage. This new album includes 12 original songs which they say tell the stories of parenthood, the call of the song thrush, the last days of a touching relationship between their neighbour and his dog and much more. One track, The Ballad of Anne and Ann, is a collaboration with Gentleman Jack’s Suranne Jones. There are various guest musicians on the album but O’Hooley and Tidow’s impressive vocals and the stories they tell are always at the forefront of this interesting album. The insert includes all the words to the songs and details of the guest musicians playing on them.
