The singing was launched from within the assembled crowd of 40 voices, to draw us together and open another evening of preparation for and celebration of this festive season. Deck the Halls warmed us up before we moved on to some of the songs planned for use at the Petworth event on 12th December. Pentonville, Falmer Carol, Sweet Chiming Bells and Masters of this Hall were all enjoyed before Emily led us through a new round, (although known to some) I heard a Bird Sing, which was lovely. After a break, more chat and some notices we resumed with a run through of Ideo, another carol which was liked by all and may be considered for use next year. This was followed by Angel Gabriel, Hark the Herald Angels and Holly and the Ivy. We finished with a couple of songs simply for us to hear and enjoy – Shepherds Arise performed by Brian, and We Should Not Curse the Winter from Dave and Sue. Thank you all. When closing the evening we confirmed our next meeting at Ye Olde House at Home will be on Wednesday 2nd January 2019. An excellent way to start the New year!
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!"
