At the Royal Oak on 17th June we welcomed new singer David Turner from Brighton (who
sings with the Orpheus Choir and is rediscovering folk singing) and returning
singer Andy Miller from Lewes (who still works for
Harvey's Brewery after 43 years).
We ran through the eight songs on the setlist for the
Sussex University of the Third Age Network
event on 12th July and then turned our attention to some of the newer
songs including Ale Glorious Ale,
Constant Lovers, Country Life, Gooch's Beer and Ha'nacker Mill. We
have now sung all the 39 songs in our repertoire at least once (except for
the carols which we will look forward to starting come October ... but
let's not wish the summer away with Amberley and Arundel just around the corner
– look out for announcements soon...)

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!"
