will take you there.

Remarkably in such a simple newspaper item they manage to get the picture credit wrong (it's Padgett and then Greaves). The voice is Steve Gardham.

But apart from that it is a good article!!

Just a few days time to get your tickets for this launch concert and get to know about the online resources of Yorkshire song from our Web site (pilot in place) we hope to make this fully available to the world wide public over the next few months

In the mean time come along to the afternoon an evening concerts at York NCEM, see link above

NCEM is online too for booking

Waterson Family feature in the evening concert, with younger Watersons, but Mike Liza and Norma to appear (Martin's Gigging with Swarb elsewhere)

Who says there aren't any Yorkshire traditional songs!

Sept 15th Saturday 1 til 4.30, 7.30 til 10.30

Great article, best of luck guys. Memories of the late great Dave Brady come to my mind.

Well done all of you - excellent site - and Ray, I have that Batley song on my to-do list! I'll be at Deanna's club in Liversedge tomorrow evening, so could sing it for you then if you happen to be in the area and come armed with a recording device!!

I've met quite a lot of Yorkshire people into folk song who have little or no curiosity about Yorkshire's folk song. They're not obliged to have any, I suppose, but I think it's a shame. If the Yorkshire Garland project can remedy this a little then hurrah!

It was indeed a great day. Will Noble and John Cocking were especially good, those monologues are hilarious. The Watersons seemed keen to live up to their name - I've never seen so much water downed onstage

Is the site for the older Yorkshire songs only, or is it for new traditional style Yorkshire songs too?

The Launch was very well attended and was to publicise the work of the Committee and many volunteers who had freely given up a great deal of time and effort to record and notate and work on transcriptions and ABC etc to put the Web site in place

The choice of York was simply that it is/was most central being the old capital of Yorkshire

Rowland Walls was most helpful in publicising the event locally, although no York singers had given up time to work on the YG project (I think!)anyone having early Yorkshire song examples we would love to hear from to add to the collection. This was for volunteers and other helpers, no matter how good or available York singers were on the night!

The 15 songs on the site at the moment have the earliest singers singing what we would deem traditional song ~ however defined!

There are another 70 ish songs well on the way to being put in place, bear in mind that the original collection of Nigel and Mary Hudleston was the original catalyst for this venture and we have been out re recording some fine examples which appear in this collection (particularly Mick Haywood singing Tom Daniel songs!)and John Greaves and Will Noble

Songs by such as Keith Marsden and Graeme Miles for example may be put on the site eventually (subject to permission)but second phase

regarding singers on the night:

Mick Haywood's missus Angie had a serious fall and broke her leg in very badly and missed the concert. She is in Scarborough hospital for 10 days! and Mick could not come. The time was extended by existing fine Yorkshire singers, many thanks to Three Score and Ten

The concert predominantly featured Yorkshire singers such as Jim Eldon, John Greaves, Will and John, Steve Gardham, Jim Potter, Brian Senior and Ivan Robinson ( o and me), as well as Knaresbrough Mummers. These represent in my view a fine cross section of the early singers who have actively sought out Yorkshire material

The evening was a splendid culmination featuring Yorkshire's first family of folk, The Waterson's extended family members

The second phase, if we get extended lottery money after May 2008 can and may well include more modern songs which have stood the test of time ~ remember, 2012 is Olympic year! the thrust will be on education and popularisation of Yorkshire song and the folk arts in its different forms

Anyone knowing any [early!!]Yorkshire songs for inclusion please contact me or Steve or Ray Black asap!! so that we may record you
