Thread Name: Will carols die out?
Subject: RE: Will carols die out?
The clientele and management of most pubs don't want the likes of Carol Singers or Mummers.
It's decades since we used to do both around the town pubs in Darlington and Richmond then we tried a few village pubs but even they lost heart. Carols were a part of folk song and if anything stood their ground longer but have gone the same way.
Carols won't die out though.
They'll still be sung in church with a nod to the seasonal festival which Christmas borrowed and they'll still be sung in Derbyshire with a nod to Christianity.
