‘About Go We’ is a song from the music theatre work Witchfinder.
This recording was made at Walpole Old Chapel in Suffolk, and features Claire Bessent as Betsy Gooding, Beau Moseley as Village Child, Robert Gildon as Reverend Gaule, and children from Holton St Peter Primary School.
The words of the song include many superstitions that people use to protect themselves from bad luck and ‘evil spirits’. They also include physical attributes that were once seen as proof people were ‘witches’.
The names in the final verse refer to animals that were owned by residents of Matthew Hopkin’s home town of Mistley. He accused all their owners of being witches, saying these animals were witch’s familiars.
