You certainly can.
It's the Yorkshire Garland Group who have been established to collate, gather and preserve Yorkshire song in a number of up to date accessible formats including the internet - I quote from the information that Ray has given me.
Typical traditional singers who represent the style are/were Arthur Howard, Will Noble and John Cocking and Frank Hinchliffe and his son Roger.
Singers from the Sheffield area have already been invited and singers who have anything to offer or who would like to take part or be in the audience should me on holmfirthfolk@btinternet.com or contact Ray Padgett, who is co-ordinating for the Yorkshire Garland group on 01226 284927.
Hope that helps.
