I really must learn the Swinton May songs one of these days. Mind you, I have been saying this for at leat 20 years! Our little village (Haha - Now the administartive centre of Salford!) Was noted in Chambers book of days for not one but two May songs - the old and the new. The old is on a Watersons album but the new, as far as I know, has never been recorded anywhere but in Chambers.

Oddly enough they were not performed on May day - but During April, leading up to May day.

Cheers
