Hello

I am on a search for lovely folk songs and ballads with a Midsummer theme and summer theme.

Thanks.

Yes searching for anything with a summer solstice theme, Midsummer or welcoming of summer etc.
Any traditional ballads with a summer theme.

I am open to English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh & Scandinavian. Thank you.

Will Ye Go, Lassie Go (McPeake Family) - in Mudcat database:

Oh, the summer time is comin'
And the leaves are sweetly bloomin' ...

Numerous British songs open on a "'Twas the summer of the year"-type theme. Searching Mudcat for "June" in particular should net you a few.
