It was a joy to be back at The John Harvey Tavern when the twelve singers joined in harmony to welcome in the new year. Tina had made a cunning plan so that we could work through four Wassail songs, sad songs, spring-time songs, and those from the repertoire that may or may not be on a set list in the future. The twenty songs were: Apple Tree Wassail; Here We Come a-Wassailing; Wassail, Wassail All Over The Town; Sugar/Sussex Wassail; Ha’nacker Mill; The Brave Eleven; Brisk Young Ploughboy; The Fields Lie Silent; The Birds On The Spray; Brighton Camp (The Girl I Left Behind Me); Caburn Hill; Oak, Ash and Thorn; Hard Times of Old England; The Lark in The Morning; Searching for Lambs; Our Captain Cried, “All Hands…”; The Turtle Dove; When Spring Comes In; Seasons Turn and finishing with Thousands or More.
Welcome to our website for singers who want to learn and sing traditional and new South Downs folk songs, sung in the traditional way. "Put another barrel on, landlord, and pull a pint for me! The ale here in Sussex is the best we all agree!"
