Subject: RE: Meltham, Yorkshire folksong
Some great tracks here!

Many here fall into the category of Yorkshire carols, nearest to Meltham being held annually in the George at Upper Denby (was at The Fountain, Ingbirchworth for very many years)

The Sheffield carols still being extremely popular ~ Royal at Dungworth, Sheffield

These songs can still be heard locally too

See also Holmfirth festival of folk, also Will Noble/John Cocking/Barry Bridgwater. Andrew Rogers and Mark Davies of the Pennine Foxhounds and there is still a sing at TheRoyal Oak at Upperthong on occasions
