I thought we could do a doorstep thing.
Anyone else up for it?

Subject: [eccotalk] Local carols event via zoom - 28th November
Hi Everyone
We’ve been thinking long and hard about the sad loss of our festival this
Christmas and feel that we should raise our voices and sound our instruments in
a Virtual Grand Sing! The big difference is that we will have no chairs to
shift, cups of tea to make, lunches and teas to sort, ticket sales to manage,
etc! But we will have plenty of carols to sing and guests to listen to!
The date for your diary is Saturday 28 November 2020, 7.30-11.00 pm.
The Virtual Grand Sing using Zoom, Facebook or YouTube will feature many
favourite local carols from South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire plus special
guests. Our guests will include local solo carollers including Will Noble,
Rosie Hood and Manny Grimsley from the Royal at Dungworth; John Fowler from the
Blue Ball at Worrall; Peter Bearon and Alison Whitaker from the George at Upper
Denby; John Bowden from the Black Bull at Ecclesfield and the Old Red Lion at
Grenoside; and Sebastian Stone from Great Longstone. Our special guests are
Parti Bronheulog, Plygain Carol Singers from North Powys, Wales, plus Rhiannon
Ifans and Trefor Pugh, also from Wales.
During the evening there will be the opportunity to join in with fourteen or
more of the favourite local carols plus the choruses of the solos. The carols
for all to sing will include: ‘Awake Arise Good Christians’, ‘Hark Hark! Hark
Hark!’, ‘Liverpool’, ‘Back Lane’ , ‘Jacob’s Well’, ‘Joy to the World’ (Foolow),
‘Curly Hark’ (Eyam), ‘Peace o’er the World (Castleton) , ‘Mount Zion’, ‘Old
Foster’ , ‘Star of Bethlehem’, ‘Portugal’, ‘Mount Moriah’, and ‘Merry
Christmas’. All these carols are included in either The Sheffield Book of
Village
Carols<http://www.villagecarols.org.uk/publications/sheffield-book.html> or The
Derbyshire Book of Village
Carols<http://www.villagecarols.org.uk/publications/derbyshire-book.html> which
has just been published in a new enhanced edition.
Please see the
