Subject: Old Sussex Carols with Shirley Collins
SHEPHERDS ARISE! OLD SUSSEX CAROLS, DANCE TUNES, READINGS & A MUMMERS' PLAY compered by SHIRLEY COLLINS
Shirley Collins introduces a selection of beautiful old West Gallery carols from Sussex accompanied by flute, fiddle, serpent, bassoon, clarinet, concertinas & recorder. Between the carols Shirley reads from Sussex authors and other country writers, and the musicians play lively dance tunes from old Sussex manuscripts. There is also a Sussex Mummers' play.
This is a lovely celebration of Christmas from earlier centuries, still full of the joy and delight it gave then.
