Thread Name: What songs are native to Derbyshire?
Subject: RE: What songs are native to Derbyshire?
Has anyone heard of a folk-type song that begins with the words ... 'I'll sing you a song about my Derbyshire' ? I first heard it sung in The Blue Bell Inn at Farnah Green, near Belper, Derbyshire in about 1990, by a trio of barber-shop singers, who just burst in and started performing (to everyone's delight). Seem to recall they could have been from Belper Operatic Society? Would appreciate anyone's help in tracing this song.
