Hi Sian. Yes, we've got a couple of Sankys. They do tend to be the 'belters' and most have a chorus. We do usually introduce them by saying that we do them because we enjoy the sound that singing them makes (although I always think that sounds like an apology!)and, to be honest, the comments from the locals are generally good-natured joshing. I suppose our worry is that people may get the impression that we are crusaders. Mind you, having said all of that, we've only got half a dozen in a pretty wide repertoire, and I always reckon that if it's good enough for The Watersons........

(And yes, PP, we sing 'The Good Old Way'. And anybody who happens to be in the Bishops Castle area tonight will find us gigging at The Poppy House for the Christmas Lights Fest)
