Controversy over land and lambs

I 'prefer land' but Barry Bridegwater sings lambs

He was member of Holmevalley Tradition and now leads the tradtional South Yorkshire Carol session at 'The Fountain' Ingbirchworth having taken over a year or two ago from Cyril Latimer who died

Both Barry and Cyril (did) pitch in the lead note to the songs unlike Dungworth where there is an organist playing

Barry also sings 'Merry mountain Child' from Arthur Howard which was not sung before he took over

Pratty Flowers is often sung at least twice and is the final song usually

Ingbirchworth is the nearest recognised Sth Yorks carol session to Holmfirth being about 200 yards from West Yorks boundary

Holmfirth being in West Yorkshire
