lyrics
The boar's head in hand bear I,
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio (As many as are in the feast)
Caput apri defero (The boar's head I offer)
Reddens laudes Domino (Giving praises to the Lord)
The boar's head, as I understand,
Is the rarest dish in all this land,
Which thus bedeck'd with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico. (Let us serve with a song)
Our steward hath provided this
In honour of the King of Bliss;
Which, on this day to be served is
In Reginensi atrio. (In the Queen's hall)
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio (As many as are in the feast)
Caput apri defero (The boar's head I offer)
Reddens laudes Domino (Giving praises to the Lord)
The boar's head, as I understand,
Is the rarest dish in all this land,
Which thus bedeck'd with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico. (Let us serve with a song)
Our steward hath provided this
In honour of the King of Bliss;
Which, on this day to be served is
In Reginensi atrio. (In the Queen's hall)

Potato Flower
by The Scottish Enlightenmentsupported by 6 fans who also own “The Boar's Head Carol”
I hold St. Thomas as one of the most important and most underated albums of the last decade. Such an intimate yet grande album. When I found out that a follow-up was announced, I was beyond ecstatic. And the day came and I listened to 'Potato Flower'. I was speechless! Such a beautiful evolution. 'Potato Flower' hits you with a wall of slow riffs and emotion. Guitar work that makes me recall bands like Pavement, Bedhead, Low and early The National. Fortunately, what has stayed consistent were the powerful and personal lyrics. With the tragic loss of Scott Hutchinson, it warms my heart to know we still Scottish talent such as James Graham and David Moyes. This album is brilliant. And clearly one of the best albums of 2018.

Little Sleep EP
by The Scottish Enlightenmentsupported by 5 fans who also own “The Boar's Head Carol”
Discovered this band via their shared label with Thirty Pounds Of Bone. Folkish but not folk - another great in the line of Scottish bands that marry a musical sincerity with pop sensibility - Orange Juice, Cocteau Twins, Vaselines, Belle & Sebastian - must be all that Irn Bru.

Adventurous EP that embodies the sound of winter through crackly old piano and hope-filled songs.
