Thread Name: Any May songs?
Subject: RE: Any May songs?
Well the Cornish Floral Dance, written by Katie Moss over a hundred years ago, in spite of its mentions of summer nights and summer seas, was actually inspired by the Helston Furry Dance, which takes place every year on May 8. So I'll claim that one for Kernow! I was brought up on the Peter Dawson recording, unsurpassed in m'humble.
