Subject: RE: Help: South Yorkshire Carols
Anyone know anything about the history of these carol sessions? I seem to remember hearing a radio program once describing how they were basically old fashioned hymns that were thrown out of church services and ended up in the pubs because the people still liked them although the church authorities didn't.
Any carol/hymn historians out there?
Cheers
