Okay, so the origins of this tune are slightly unhinged, but essentially, the Cambridge University Ceilidh Band (who I play and call with) went on holiday to Wales in September 2024. The floor plan of the girl's bathroom showed a mysterious round object in the corner that one male member of the band was intrigued by. His girlfriend and myself were trying to convince him that it was a cauldron which we used to do magic spells and curses. In a totally unfiltered moment, that I tried to stop myself, I ended up saying at one point something like "why do you think its in the girls' bathroom, what do you think we feed it?" You can use your own imagination to work out the the answer I gave. A few days later, PMS and PCOS is hitting me hard and it was suggested that I "Feed The Cauldron". This tune comes out of my experiences of PMS and PCOS - mysterious, spooky, angsty and occassionally full of anger.
