Finally got round to doing some more.

Two entries both with a North Yorkshire Theme.

The Lyke Wake Dirge is a very old song from the Cleveland district of North Yorkshire. There are several threads in Mudcat about it as well as information elsewhere on the 'net. There are also a number of recordings of the song, mostly from the '60s. I sing it with just a shruti box drone accompaniment. The accompanying video is of views of the North Yorkshire Moors.

I have also added two tunes of my own as well, Ryedale Waltz and Anna's Jig. I play them solo on a Tenor Recorder. The video features Rievaulx Abbey, a ruined Cistercian Monastery which is situated in Ryedale.
