Hello again singers in Lewes or elsewhere. Hope you’re still surviving. At least now some people have had the first vaccination and the days are getting longer with occasional sunshine, despite the recent flurries of snow. Here are my February song suggestions. Just one new song this month with attachments to sing along at home HERE (the others recorded in previous months are marked *).
If you would rather sing and chat with others there are also two Zoom sessions where, as usual, those present will decide how we use the time. Stay as long as you want, all welcome from any area. If anyone is reading this who does not yet belong to SDFS do feel free to come and see what we do.

- We’ll kick off with Drink me Brave Boys* and Fathom the Bowl*
- Then our new item, one last wassailing song for the year – Wassail the Silver Apple from the West Country. On the website you can hear Alan & Anne from the Chichester group performing it in two parts with instruments. I’ve attached here each part recorded separately and the words.
- Taking us to our virtual comfort break a pair of sea-themed songs, both sad tales but set to lively tunes – The Constant Lovers* and Our Captain Cried, “All Hands”*.
- Welcome back with two songs concerning local Sussex places – Brighton Camp* from the East and Ha’nacker Mill* from the West.
- Next our thoughts turn to love with The Three Maidens* and The Sussex Wedding Song*.
- And to end another distanced evening, apart but together in spirit, our old favourite Thousands or More* with a slight topical change to the lyrics: “With my bottle and friend you will find me on Zoom!”
Best wishes, solidarity, golier etc!
Tina
