For various summer-related reasons, only eleven of us arrived at The John Harvey Tavern. Jan had brought her friend Maggie, who recognised several of our songs, and Adrian and Jane managed to come over from Seaford. With only two male voices, we made a goodly sound. Tina had brought the set list for Bateman’s which was hot off the SDFS website, so we sang through all twenty one songs on the list (including My Boy Jack) and for good measure, East Sussex Drinking Song and Thousands or More – mind you, we didn’t clear away our glasses until 10.45!
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!"
