GUEST,David Burbidge Lyr Req: Land of the Pennine God (Mike Donald) (14) RE: Lyr Req: Land of the Pennine God (Mike Donald) 06 Oct 11


My Lakeland Voice singers sing this song - as well as other songs about the Settle Carlisle railway on our Singing Settle Carlisle weekend in October near Ingleton.
I live near Sedbergh at the bottom of the Garsdale valley and in answer to one of your questions - I sang Mike Donald's song Land of the Pennine God at Garsdale Station (which used to called Hawes Junction) in the evening of Christmas eve 2010.
We also sang Dave Goulder's song Nineteen Hundred and Ten, Christmas Eve at Hawes Junction, which I believe is a better song and this terrible train crash.
Another singer songwriter who wrote about this railway is Ken Pope who lives in Dentdale and wrote a number of songs to go with the Dent Players' play Settle Carlisle which tell the story of this magnificent railway.
