GUEST,Old Snap	Help: July Wakes (9)	July Wakes	02 Dec 00
Maybe 20 years ago I heard Mike Harding sing a song called July Wakes (Wakes Week being the annual holiday for the textile mill workers in the North of England). I have never been able to discover who wrote it, which has never bothered me before, but now I'd like to record it with my 3-part group. It begins: "From looms of sweat our brass is drawn..." Ring any bells with anyone out there? One more thing: we also sing an American hymn called "Holy Quietness" (Joys are flowing like a river etc). I can't find it in Sacred Harp or Southern Harmony. Any ideas on the source?
