A Song for the Time

Village Carols from the Black Bull, Ecclesfield

A superb cassette ... which knocks spots off almost every other carol collection on record.
(The Guardian)

Christmas carolling at Ecclesfield in south Yorkshire is a revelation. It represents one of the finest examples of a village tradition of carol singing in the UK. There are no conductors, no music scores, no accompaniment, just villagers and enthusiasts coming together to voice their celebration of Christmas, as their forebears have done for generations before. The singing at the Black Bull is renowned, not merely within the district but across the country. Each sale generates funds for a local charity, the Priory Players.
