It was a well attended and lively evening had by all at the Beechwood session. We warmed up with the Woodcutter's Song and the Turnip Hoer, and then between pints and chat we learned and sang through A Smuggler’s Song and Oak, Ash and Thorn, both of which sounded great and were much enjoyed. They will be good additions to the repertoire and hopefully ready for Bateman’s. Then we sang The Magpie and Pleasant and Delightful, which are ripening nicely, The Magpie being the trickier of the two but beautiful when we get it right!
Thanks to all for coming along, good company and good singing can't be beat!

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!"
