Colganology
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 ส.ค. 2006
A magazine channel by Stevyn Colgan - writer, artist, folklorist, former QI 'Elf', proud Cornishman and committee member of the Eccentric Club of Great Britain (est. 1781). You can expect arts projects, weird creations, wanderings through the British countryside, folk culture and quite a lot of country lore and foraging thrown in. Oh, and occsional interruptions from Harris the Pug. Let's make the internet nice - and a little bit silly - again.
The Follyologist
Today I'm taking you to meet Lyndon Yorke, a fellow member of the Eccentric Club and a dear friend. Lyndon has been voted Britain's most eccentric man on numerous occasions and his mechanical marvels have appeared at many events and shows. He's entertained the crowds at the Royal Henley Regatta (and bemused a few royals) with his amphibious bath chairs and bicyles and he's surprised people at Fawley House and at the Kop Hill Climb with his wicker bodied cars.
I took Andrew Edgecumbe - the award-winning fashion photographer - to meet him as Andrew is building a gallery of portraits of notable creative people who live life on their own terms. And while they got on with the shoot, I explored Lyndon's extraordinary collection of vehicles, gadgets and paraphernalia. It was a very enjoyable day and he, and I, are happy to share it with you.

Happy Midsummer!
มุมมอง 16414 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
A very short video to say Happy Midsummer, a joyous Summer Solstice and a Blessed Litha to you all. Oh, and a happy Winter Solstice to you all in the Southern hemisphere too. (And 'Golowan lowen!' to my Cornish-speaking relatives and friends). I'm now just waiting for someone to say 'Midsummer? But summer hasn't started yet!'. It starts today. Well, in the UK, it technically began at 9.50pm on ...

Summer is getting into its groove now (although a few warmer days would be nice). The brambles are in bloom, plump new berries are forming on the blackthorn, cherry and hawthorn trees and the wildflower meadows are bursting with toadflax, hawksbeard, buttercups, rosebay willlowherb and spear thistle. On this week's waddle we encounter cuckoo spit, maple helicopters (and noisy helicopters), a co...
Junk Train
มุมมอง 1.9Kวันที่ผ่านมา
I'm feverishly beavering away on new art projects but there's nothing I can share yet. So I thought I'd share an old project from a couple of years ago. I was asked to scratchbuild a train for a craft/art supplies shop window display. And, taking inspiration from the late geat Rowland Emmet, that's what I did. As usual, I made it from mostly recycled junk. Why waste money on expensive art mater...
Welcome!

This is a sort of 'Welcome!' to new subscribers but also a refeshed new welcome video for the channel as the old one is a bit dated now. And a big shout out to the Grange Area Trust whose volunteers manage and maintain Widmer Fields for the community and the wildlife - they are the best kind of people. There's always extra content on my blog here: colganology2.blogspot.com/ And you can stalk me...

Today we're hunting for wild edibles, musing on hagstones, and you'll get to hear about my distant relative Nathaniel Colgan - the man who 'discovered' the shamrock.

The Big Art Show - Wycombe Arts Centre
มุมมอง 35214 วันที่ผ่านมา
I'm taking part in this fortnight-long exhibition this year so I thought I'd show you around the buiding and let you meet some of the artists and see their work. The Arts Centre in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, is a deconsecrated church built in 1903 and a fantastic exhibition space. Appearing at this event - part of Bucks Art Weeks (www.bucksartweeks.org.uk/) - there are some fantastic artist...

Another week of walks on the Chiltern Hills with me and Harris the Pug. This week we go in search of wild flowers, pay homage to a wonderful - but tragic - art project, and ponder on the lyrics that might have been ... if Poison knew their plant anatomy and pysiognomy. (Yes, I got it wrong in the video and said that it was Guns'n'Roses, dammit.) As always, more content on my blog here: colganol...

Well ... I did promise you a bigger and better 'Screaming Engine' ... Huge thanks to Tracey Huxley for donating the C-PAP pipes, Liz Bell for the conduit and other plastic waste, my long-suffering wife and neighbours for being so understanding, and to the Grange Area Trust who maintain the meadows and woodland trails (Widmer Fields) where I film these silly videos. It's a long-ish video that co...

Two meanders today. The first finds me at the posh end of Oxford Street in London on a visit to the Oriental Club for a meal and a meeting. I'm on the committee of the Eccentric Club which, for nearly 250 years, has been a convivial society of innovative and creative thinkers who do things their own way ... and raise money for charitable causes. Past members include poets, architects, theatre d...

If you enjoyed all of my previous noise-making creations - such as the Hornyx, the Eye-Lo-Phone, the Horn of Geddon and the Didgeridoin't - then you'd better start girding your loins for my latest, biggest and silliest project so far. Coming very soon ...
Weighing the Mayor
มุมมอง 70628 วันที่ผ่านมา
Today - the third Saturday in May - was Mayor Weighing Day in the nearby Buckinghamshire town of High Wycombe. Every year, the incoming Mayor and outgoing Mayor are publicly weighed to see if they have 'got fat at the public's expense'. This is the only town in the UK that observes this curious tradition. No one is quite sure how it all started. Some say that it goes back to the 1600s and was a...

Guelder roses, Hawthorn blossom, Gnarly Elders and an unexpected encounter with a roe deer.

Another week of dog walks on the Chiltern Hills with me, Harris the Pug and guest dog Alfie the Dachshund. Not a massive amount of new things to report - spring is starting to slowly morph into summer, the bluebells are giving way to foxgloves, buttercups and cow parsley and the early brimstone and peacock butterflies are being joined by whites, red admirals, small meadow blues and orange tips....

Well, this was a treat. In fact, it was a double treat! My podcasting colleague Paul Waters and I hosted a live WE'D LIKE A WORD event this week. Our guest was poet, author, musician, artist, comedian and national treasure JOHN HEGLEY, ably accomanied by poet and musician Clare Elstow. The podcast will be available to download and listen to very soon. It was a fantastic evening. The venue was p...
Now imagine several of these made from leather and metal and riding into battle on the heads of flag bearers...
whos this 'horn' guy, and why does he have a geddon?
as an australian i would love one of these lol
Hello there! I would like to recommend a video idea maybe make a song with all of your instruments kinda like @xzardas541 which said “At this rate my man is going to make whole orchestra from hell” from your hornix video a while back
huh 1 year ago
I want it
what the sigma
These are so good. Love the effort.
Men only want one thing... and it's toys.
this is a insane person
I think you're pretty special too
Subscribed forever. I’m inspired beyond words by every single step, element, instrument; and the editing just pulls it all into something truly as unique as it is wonderful. This video sparked a fire I didn’t quite know I needed to really get into some pleasant strangeness in my own work. Thank you for sharing so much of what you’ve made!
Then my work is done!
i really wanna to play on your musical instruments and record some kind of music for RagnaRRock
This is a reminder I don’t exercise my free will enough
Be not afraid
Awesome.
You should make a band with these instruments!
So this man is the one who created SCP-066
Judgment day
"The Ravager has Awoken"
This reminds me of Monty Python movies
I admit, I would be scared as hell while taking a hike and suddenly heard this! Pretty impressive!👍
that's some haul's moving castle type stuff, and looks amazing
The sound definitely fits the head, it reminds me of the Carnyx (a ancient Celtic war horn) but more organic
Bloody horrifying noise. Well done!
It sounds weird.... but I kinda like it!
*nope*
Would be excellent for birthday parties and New Year celebrations!
This inspires me so much
Then my work is done! :)
3:27 the coolest one line I’ve seen on here in a good while
absolutely love it mate
cool!
The absolute terror for anyone just taking a nature stroll lol I feel like this would terrify Romans
"And then i painted it black" Paint it,Black - Rolling Stones*
The didgerido not do this.
beautiful. this is my new obsession.
I love seeing neat trinkets and collectibles like that there’s this one TH-cam channel that does toy reviews that’s wholesome and amazing
It looks like something out of a Maurice Sendak book. Absolutely delightful! This is precisely the sort of zaniness I need in my life. You, sir, have a new subscriber.
you made me wanna make this. curse you!!
It sounds like the little bubble guys in Elden Ring.
me after eating taco bell:
"Can you Arm a Geddon?"... I'll see myself out.
This is like an aztec death whistle... imagine someone charging at you playing this it would be terrifying
What a nice way to wake the neighbors
This is so cool! Greetings from Venezuela This should be used in a low budget horror movie god I would love to see this I'll laugh so hard ❤
1:10 this looks like it belongs in a Tally Hall cover
I do have perfect pitch, but not all dissonance is upsetting. Some of it is hilarious. Intent is really what matters: Are you making discord because you meant to or because you're bad at music?
I'm just having fun! But I do play guitar, mandolin, ukulele and various forms of drums and percussion so I know what music SHOULD sound like :D
@@Colganology I can tell you’re doing it on purpose. If the people doing it accidentally noticed, they wouldn’t call attention to it
@@chrisarcher1146 True!
Looks like Nothing There's 2nd form from lob corp
“Who wants a Fluggle Horn?!”
There was this 2015 or so animated kids series "Mia & me". That awfully reminded me of this one magical instrument from there...
I hate it 👍
