Pronounced “hueguh”, hygge is a Danish phrase, loosely translated as cosiness, togetherness, conviviality, consolation and contentment. From the album ‘Which side are you on ?’ (Which Aspect Information, 1985) – track written by Ewan MacColl, his version was included on a cassette he and Peggy Seeger put out in 1984. ‘Daddy what did you do in the strike’ on their Blackthorn information was ‘a musical documentation of the 1984 miners strike’ with ‘profits to National Union of Mineworkers’.

Heritage Open Days was established in 1994 as England’s contribution to the European Heritage Days and has since grown into the country’s largest heritage competition. It’s coordinated centrally by the Nationwide Trust with funding from players of Folks’s Postcode Lottery. However it is the hundreds of organisations and people from all walks of life who make the competition occur.

The park also included some huge dance tents put on by some of the predominant LGBT clubs at the moment, together with Love Muscle (commonly held on the Fridge in Brixton), DTPM (laborious home night at The Finish), Popstarz (the gay indie club held at the Scala in Kings Cross), FIST and Queer Nation (the final two both at Substation South, the previous a fetish/techno evening and the latter known for its more soulful house and storage sounds).

however is equally achievable on one’s personal with a very good e book, a puppy and a glass of crimson… One of the items that my partner and I’ve been creating is a dance referred to as But Is It Wholesome? That is the query that people always ask whenever I discuss fats stuff in public. Typically I place bets with pals and colleagues about whether it will likely be the primary query.

The chance is I am dancing in a hate zone and that most individuals are unlikely to grasp what which may feel like. Even at this stage in my life it’s onerous. My hope is that dancing, being there, making a spectacle of myself, might help transform that area. Generally I really feel hopeful and other times I think I am a fantasist and that nothing can stop the greed and ambition of the weight loss industry. I do not wish to bellyache about it too much, it’s an incredible privilege to be there in any respect, I am so grateful for the invitation and care that has been extended in the direction of me, however it is still complicated and generally it sends me into a spin.
