about

Sung at 20th Century Flicks video shop, and outside the shop on Christmas Steps, Bristol, 18th December 2016. (Later added - recording from the same event the previous year.)

A selection solstice carols, derived from pre-christian dancing, ceremonial, or drinking songs, restored by Norman Iles (ed. Tim Hall), and arranged by the singers.

Also sung are some shapenote songs from the Sacred Harp book (the red book, 1991 edition), and other seasonal songs including a Welsh language carol.

Thanks to all who shared the evening with us!

Song names and timings are included on each track..
