I can't remember ever watching that film although I love the Arthurian legends - will watch! If you liked that, I'm sure you would love the book, The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I ripped through that some years ago (must re-read). My favourite piece of art is a sketch by John William Waterhouse, 'The Lady of Shalott looking at Sir Lancelot'. It is owned by Falmouth Art Gallery who have it in the basement out of sight 🤦🏼♀️ whilst they display modern tat. (Top of the list if I ever win the lottery - note to self: buy a lottery ticket). The painting was inspired by the Tennyson poem, The Lady of Shalott - also brilliant.
There's a beautiful song I found on YouTube a few years back called 'Mordred's Lullaby' inspired by Arthur and Morgan. I can't remember the artist, but it's worth a listen if you can find it. 😊
If you're ever in Ireland be sure to visit Cahir castle where some important scenes were shot ..then cross the road to Morrissey's pub where you can see displayed a battered breastplate/helmet from the film signed by cast and crew!

The link is the free (but advert riddled) version. There’s also many clips on YouTube.
Thanks so much, I’ll have a look at the recommended book and the painting. I watched Excalibur on here but then loved it so much I bought it on Amazon
https://www.tokyvideo.com/video/excalibur-1981. There’s no hassle of adverts when watching Excalibur on there.
Tried to like this but Substack wasn't having it!

Wow. Thank you. That sounds amazing.
I'm guessing there were mighty sessions in that pub forty-five years ago when it was filmed..
I wish I was a fly on the wall!
