GUEST,BlackAcornUK	Mummer/wassail songs from N West/Yorks (13)	RE: Mummer/wassail songs from N West/Yorks	11 Nov 24
...I should share my own slim pickings thus far - An obvious place to start is the so-called Yorkshire Wassail song collected by Vaughan Williams (I'm not sure exactly where or when): https://youtu.be/vVF8kWB6w-A?si=E-PZ8B0T9__nvy1z By my reckoning, the Yorkshire Garland Group has two mummer's songs, Poor Old Horse and Six Jolly Miners, both from North Yorkshire: https://www.yorkshirefolksong.net/song.cfm Calderdale's Long Company Mummers have both a wassail and a calling on song; I'm not sure of the provenance of either, but the latter has the feel of a song that may have been written by Pete Coe. I'll try to ask Johnny Adams tomorrow! https://youtu.be/yqDqIIOcPiI?si=ZnK97qLCAaAnBhtS I've found very little West of the Pennines so far - but the Alderley Mummer's Song from Cheshire is a fine specimen: https://youtu.be/eAcYk6lIU1I?si=IxgldLmxXk3jLrSj
