Subject: RE: While Shepherds Watched/Ilkley Moor
The latest edition of Living Tradition turned up the other day. It includes a feature, 'The Yorkshire Pub Carol Tradition' (we tend to call them 'The Sheffield Carols' or 'The Local Carols') by Debbie Koritsas; a decent introduction on the whole. The photos don't seem to be credited: I think Doc Rowe took them. The article includes a link to Dr Ian Russell's Village Carols website, which among a lot of useful information provides a link to the South Riding Folk Arts Network site, where a list of sings in the area is placed each year. The current schedule, which will be added to and revised as new information comes in over the next few weeks, is as always compiled by Pat Malham and can be seen at

Debbie evidently missed that, but nobody is perfect.
