"The Penny Waits"
A Celebration of the Great British Christmas
In song and story by Clarty Sough (Geoff Convery, Keith Brown & Jim Hancock)
An Evenning of traditional songs, carols and tales from around the British Isles presented in Victorian costume by Clarty Sough.. Mummers and Guisers, wassails and carols, songs from the pagan to the present day delivered as unaccompanied harmonies or with guitar or concertina accompaniment as appropriate.Clarty Sough take a not too serious look at the traditions of the festive season with material ranging from the rarely heard to full throated carols for all to join in on.
There are songs from Twelfth Night plough plays, songs about hunting the wren and Christmas at sea, and if you want to know what really happened on "Christmas Day in the Workhouse" this is the place to be.
