I have been too busy to get to the computer for a few days, so thanks for the responses I have missed inbetween.
I would not call myself an afficionado of anything these days, especially since the twins arrived, I seldom manage to get to anything. That was why I fancied getting to one of the South Yorks Carol sessions.
Although I understand the concern of individuals about folk tourism I am not convinced that many people are that interested in tracking down obscure traditions. I know archivists and scholars who worh to make acurate recors of events, but their agenda is a different one. People I know who go to join in with the South Yorkshire Carols do not live in the villages concerned. Are they Folk Tourists, or just people who love singing?
I have just been doing some searches and came up with a couple of links not already listed:-
The Joy Of Christmas, Midi and words from the South Yorks Carols and a review of a recording from the South Yorks Carols
Quack!
