I sing with the Tyneside Maritime Chorus, and we`ve been discussing songs such as the above. It`s a beautiful song, and great with a million harmonies, but, when you have a lot of people singing it, without the organisation of a director, it becomes laboured and long? I admit at festivals and big clubs I`m guilty!, but why do we spoil these songs? Any comments will be happily received, especially from Pat Thornton if you`re kicking about. I found your threads eventually, but whether or not I`ll do it again remains to be seen. Love to all you true trad folkies out there!xxxxxxxxx
