Guest: I'm sorry for muddling the names in the Rusby family, but my recollections of the broadcast are sketchy at present. It was really delightful to hear Kate describe how she had heard the carols over the years, without realising that they were significant.

That is the real essence of folk : that it is just there whether you take any notice or not.

People will, and do sing regardless of whether anyone is watching or listening, and this is what makes the Yorkshire carol singing so wonderful to experience.
