GUEST,BlackAcornUK Origins: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean? (90* d) RE: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean? 09 May 20


It's quite correct that people adhere to social distancing requirements, but it was still very sad to see Helston standing empty yesterday;

Of possible interest to anyone not completely exhausted by the endless debate over Hal-an-Tow, I've tried to draw together many of the different interpretations in my new blog, as part of https://twitter.com/hashtag/AFolkSongAFortnight - my new, lockdown-spurred project to learn, research, record and write about a different traditional song every couple of weeks.

Grateful for comments, shares and future song suggestions...!
