There now appear to be a number of threads to do with Ted Edwards' top little number, "Coal Hole Cavalry" - so I'm just picking mine, LOL! :)

I have just uploaded to YT, some a cappella harmony singing from the female folk trio, RAW SILK, and one song included is "Coal Hole Cavalry".

Some of us learnt it over 30 years ago, but I've only just found out the name of our source : the 4 unaccompanied harmony singers from Lancashire named QUARTZ ( whom I believe are now a trio and are called CLOSEQUARTERS ..... )

There are now many versions of the song on YT, but of the 6 that I listened to (with 2 or more singers), none seemed to be quite like "our" version, which also has a Canon in it. Presumably this was evolved by the members of QUARTZ.

Q. Does anyone know of them, and their aged version of "CHC"??

Cheers,
