What constitutes Derbyshire? A couple of years ago at Bromyard we were singing in the beer tent when Ken Johnson (Derbyshire) turned to me (Yorkshire) and said, "What about doing one of our songs Paul?" I was nonplussed for a minute and then realised he was dead right. It's not a matter of what some burocrat decides as he redraws lines on administrative maps. We belong with the people who share our customs and beliefs and who live close enough for us to recognise this. So Ken and I started up with …'Holmfirth Anthem'. :-) Go figure.
