I went to the original meny years ago. Very interesting mixed audience/singers. One evry passionate Ulsterman is one I remember.

The organiser used to busk around the town, can't remember the name. Is it you Breezy?

Good luck.

Could well have been

Apparently there was a brief refernce/mention of him in last Sunday's edition of The People [on Sunday]

A journalist recounting his visit to Cornwall this month

next night will be Thursday 29th July

terms and conditions apply !!

last night local Cornish Historian Donald Rowe was present, he's nearly, soon to be 80 and was surprised to learn that I own a copy of Cornish Dialect songs that he published.

plus the Padstow Harbour Conmmissioners were represented , one of which, namely the Lifeboat Mechanic, Michael E, possesses all the Stan Rogers albums, so anyone singing from that collection will be judged closely.

Every Thursday til Aug the whatever

Hi John

I have tried to email you the lyrics of my "Mayday" song that I sang with your guitar on the quay but it keeps bouncing back so I searched for you on google and found this thread. I wrote this about 20 years ago and lyrics are:

Padstow Mayday (rough recording at http://www.davetoye.co.uk/gatwick.htm bottom of page)   



The sun it shone bright on the first day of May
When I heard of some music come drifting my way
The drums and the sounds echoed up through the town
Summer's a coming today all around

REFRAIN
Padstow celebrates it's sacred day
With the blue and the old Oss on the first day of May
If you don't like the music, get out of the way (or be on your way)
For Summer's a coming, a coming today

Down by the harbour, the Peace 'oss comes out
The mayers all greet it, with a hell'ava shout
Straight down the Drang, and in to the Square
Laughing and singing, and meeting friends there
At the London, Commercial, the Customs House too
The Shipwrights, the Lion, they stop for a few
Then it's all back again, to drink some more beer
If you're not in Padstow, you'll wish you were here

Down by the maypole, the young girls do dance
The young men do kiss them, just given the chance
The hypnotic drum beat, gets a grip of your brain
And even the old ones, do feel much the same
When the Old Oss comes out, at the back of the Lion
Down by the quay side, it prances in time
Friends and relations, and those from the past
Are all there on Mayday, and dance to the last


The 'oss it swirls round at a hell'ava lick
And is tamed by the teaser - well, just for a bit
Girls in their whites, bluebells and cowslips
Link arms together and let voices rip
The people of Padstow remember the day
Their thought's turn back homeward, if they're far away
Memories of loved one's, no longer here
Return on Mayday, as they shed a tear

Let me know if you pick this up and if you are coming down to Sussex anytime. Dave 07710 412118

Breezy - any particular reason why you've resurrected this thread on Rick Stein's birthday....?

No , just I hadnt seen the words and Dave Toye the author gave me a link to them , like you he is very sharing, and its got a jolly tune, he sang it out on the harbour last May day, he had partaken of a few, he's a rather good singer guitarist too and very amenable

the timing of it with R S 's birthday - please pronounce as seen - was purely coincidental, but appropriate methunks.

John likes songs

Do you ?

Hear John at Herga on Mondays

John likes Kitty.

buy kitty's CD with Derek Burgess

John likes Brent Cross, but not when its snowing and they close it and it takes 9 hours to get to Hatfield.
