Thread Name: Origin: Bright Shining Morning
Subject: RE: Origin: Bright Shining Morning
The Holmevalley Tradition, Holmfirth West Yorks, in particular Barry Bridgewater, and Will Noble sing this quite regularly
The song very likely from Arthur Howard
The Holmevalley lot are still hunting with dogs although this has been banned in England, supposedly
SWan Arcade's version is probably most popular in England although Barry in particular sings a different set of words passed down orally
He does sing Bright Rosy Morning ~ he also currently leads the singing at The George, Upper Denby having taken over from Cyril Latimer and formerly at The Fountain, Ingbirchworth at Christmas!!
