Sixteen, enough to make four parts of four and sing through summer songs, new and old, with a few that may come up in the Bateman’s song list and the occasional request! Country Life, West Sussex Drinking Song, All Things Are Quite Silent, Follow Me ’Ome, Home Lads Home, Run of The Downs (we wish we had a better tune), The Bee Boy’s Song, The Magpie, The Nightingale and A Smuggler’s Song before the break. Then Littlehampton Collier Lads, Lark in the Morning, Song of the Sussex Downsman, Fathom the Bowl, Rosebuds in June, Pleasant and Delightful, Rolling In The Dew, The Farmer’s Toast 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!"
