When green leaves they was springing,
This young man on his death-bed lay,
For the love of [invalid handle].
We organise live folk music events on a not-for-profit basis in and around Guildford in the UK. Here is our next event.
Could you maybe merge this with @squeezyjohn.bsky.social’s starter pack? go.bsky.app/D5A8kE4
“The Trees All Are Bare” is a lovely scene-setter. Almost makes us look forward to the colder weather.

Thank you!
I've started up a starter pack loosely based around the UK folk and traditional music scene and will be adding to it all the time. If you can think of any artists, organisations or mandolin-whittling interest groups I've missed please let me know!

I'm delighted that the tune we're using to accompany the song "What Wondrous Love is This" on the new Gigspanner
Big Band album is from a village my family comes from. North Leigh had a morris tradition much of which has become extinct - but was described by Cecil Sharp.

Pielarks needs new singers, people who enjoy traditional folk music, and can sing confidently, in tune and in rhythm. We practise every Monday morning, 10 till 12, in north Kingston.
