Subject: RE: Lyr Req: St George's Day songs (April 23)
By 'seasonal' I mean specifically for St George's Day (as in the thread title). Sorry for any confusion. The only songs I could find in the DT that actually mention St George are the Cornish May Carol and Furry Day Carol, which strictly should be sung in May, but I may include them tomorrow because of the St George reference. The Pace-Egging song pointed out by Tyke is actually a calling-on song for a mumming play specifically about St George - a slightly different twist on the traditional story, and the website actually gives the complete script. It is therefore intended to be performed on St George's Day, and I would thus call it 'seasonal'.

And Bruce, thanks for the link - I obviously don't use all of Mudcat's resources often enough. Must try harder...

Many thanks to all for the help received so far.
