The Tiddy Mun: Lincolnshire Folklore Brought to Life by Wergulu Blue

Following on from my blog about our old friend Tiddy Mun, link here. I’m delighted to share a piece of music that captures the spirit of Lincolnshire’s folklore.

The band Wergulu Blue have written a song inspired by the legend of the Tiddy Mun - the ancient, dwarf-like being said to dwell in the fenland waterways, punishing those who disrespect the land. Their track is steeped in atmosphere, and feels like a natural companion to the folklore itself.

If you’re drawn to folk-horror, forgotten legends, and music that feels rooted in place and myth, I highly recommend giving this a listen.

Wergulu Blue in thier own words.

Wergulu Blue was started about 7 years ago. As a songwriter I am inspired by the natural world and our relationship to it. My songs are written from the imagined perspective of specific individuals or ancestors and contain a sense of place and time. I say the songs are written but really, the learning and the research in folklore and history directs the narrative and I find true stories more compelling and engaging than fiction. My aim is to help keep our folklore alive and strengthen the nourishing bond we have with our land. Our songs have been played regularly over the last two years on Rock Radio UK by Roger Nicholls on the excelllent Walrus and Carpenter Show.
