The Women of Rendezvous: A Transatlantic Story of Family and Slavery (UNC Press, 2024) is a dramatic transatlantic story about five women who birthed children by the same prominent Barbados politician and enslaver. Two of the women were his wives, two he enslaved, and one was a servant in his household. All were determined to make their way in a world that vastly and differentially circumscribed their life choices. From a Barbados plantation to the center of England's empire in London, Hester Tomkyns, Frances Knights, Susannah Mingo, Elizabeth Ashcroft, and Dorothy Spendlove built remarkable lives for themselves and their children in spite of, not because of, the man who linked them together. Mining seventeenth- and eighteenth-century court records, deeds, wills, church registers, and estate inventories, Jenny Shaw centers the experiences of the women and their children, intertwining the microlevel relationships of family and the macrolevel political machinations of empire to show how white supremacy and racism developed in England and the colonies. Shaw also explores England's first slave society in North America, provides a glimpse into Black Britain long before the Windrush generation of the twentieth century, and demonstrates that England itself was a society with slaves in the early modern era.

In this episode of The Netmums Podcast, Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry are joined by early years expert Jenny Shaw from Busy Bees Nurseries. They talk about the challenges and joys of choosing the right childcare, and how Busy Bees' new “Bee Curious” curriculum is setting children up for success through playful learning. Jenny shares her insights from over 25 years in early years education, discussing the importance of trust between parents and educators, and how nurseries like Busy Bees focus on both care and education. They chat about the overwhelming feelings parents face when selecting childcare, the benefits of nursery education over pre-school, and how to prepare children (and parents) for the transition to nursery life. The conversation also explores the daily activities at Busy Bees, from singing and storytelling to outdoor play, and how these contribute to a child's development. Jenny provides practical tips for parents on supporting their child's learning at home without adding to the 'to-do' list, emphasising the importance of communication, language, and vocabulary development. Busy Bees new “Bee Curious” curriculum is designed to give children a head start in life, setting them up to succeed.

In 1845, Sir John Franklin set off on his doomed voyage to find the North West Passage and was never seen again. Said to be written by his wife Jane, it's the tragic love story that makes it a stand-out song to this episode's guests, Reg Meuross, David Harbottle and Freya Jonas. Featuring tracks from their album Songs of Love and Death, we talk about how the project developed from a lockdown collaboration into a fully fledged album and forthcoming tour. Along the way we talk song writing and getting into the heart of an authentic story, and touch on another tragic seafaring tale - that of Hull's own Lil Bilocca.There's also a true tale of secret folk contraband passed from musician to musician in Devon, and a lovely surprise announcement towards the end of the recording.MusicAll featured songs are from the album Songs of Love and Death and include:Oxford GirlAnachie GordonAdieu Sweet Lovely NancyAs I Roved Outand of course Lord FranklinThe trio will be touring during March and April, and you can catch them on the following dates:18th March - The Gather, Ennerdale 13th April Folk at Ash - Kent 14th April John Peel Centre - Suffolk 15th April Sound Lounge - Sutton 16th April Green Note London (matinee) 17th April Cantonacre - Stroud 17th June Beardy Folk Festival Further details and tickets here.Handed Down is presented by Jenny Shaw with episodes coming out twice a month.

She Moved Through the Fair - folksong or fakesong?

Is She Moved Through the Fair really a folk song, or is it an early 20th Century parlour song?  The answer to this question takes us deep into Irish social and cultural history and we meet some colourful characters along the way. But our journey's end is a cottage fireside where, in the space of just a few minutes, a woman and two men unwittingly sparked a musical phenomenon.MusicIn addition to She Moved Through the Fair, this episode includes the following music:The opening music is Eleanor Plunkett by Turlough O'CarolanThe music accompanying Padraic Colum's words is The Frost is All Over, a tune from DonegalThe piano version of She Moved Through the Fair is Herbert Hughes's arrangement, published in his book Irish Country Songs vol 1 in 1909. It is followed by an excerpt from La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin by Claude Debussy. Like many parlour pianos, mine is greatly in need of tuning.The harp tune behind the words of Herbert Hughes is The Airy Bachelor, a tune he also collected in Kilmacrenan, Donegal on the same trip on which he and Colum first heard She Moved Through the Fair.There's a verse of “The Grey Cock” played on piano.The reading of “My Own Rod's The Sorest” or “Out of the Window” uses the verses reconstructed by Hugh Shields (see below). The tune played is the one originally collected by Herbert Hughes (see below)The final version of She Moved Through the Fair is the version my Mum taught me, apart from the final verse - I've never heard her sing the final verse.All music performed by Jenny Shaw.AcknowledgementsAs always I'd like to express my thanks to the team at Stones Barn, Cumbria and the Barnstoners community, who are always supportive and encouraging, and to Steven, Cai and Eleanor Shaw who remain supportive despite having to listen to my nonstop singing and whistling.ReferencesThe song was first published by Herbert Hughes in The Journal of the Irish Folk Song Society in 1905.A free PDF version of Herbert Hughes' Irish Country SongsA copy of Wild Earth by Padraic Colum There's an interesting article on Irish sean-nos singing here She Moved Through the Fair in Fresno State's Ballad IndexMainly Norfolk's article about She Moved Through the Fair.Article about Colum in the Irish TimesLots of versions of the song; sheet music and videoAn article about Margaret Barry from The Guardian:Pickering, M.

In August of 2017, 6-year-old Jenny Shaw diagnosed with cancer. Throughout her treatment journey, Jenny’s family was lucky enough to live close to the hospital, so they could be there all the time and make it feel like home for Jenny, which loved. However, Jenny noticed that a lot of other kids had few of these same comforts—or even visitors. So Jenny started a movement to bring joy to kids in the hospital and let them know they’re not alone.

She documents the arrival of Irish migrants into the Caribbean who came in some cases involuntarily, and in other cases with dreams to make their own fortunes in the islands’ booming sugar trade. Their Catholicism and social standing long kept them from joining the ruling class. But, Shaw traces how the simultaneous arrival of enslaved Africans complicated those social standings, while also helping to simplify them at a later date. In the process, her study injects new life into the question of racial ideology in the British Americas, as well as the role and influence of religion in the Anglo-Caribbean.
