Whitby Bells is a contemporary folk song written by the late Dave Totterdell. The song tells the story of the bells of Whitby Abbey which were removed at the Dissolution. The ship taking the bells to London inexplicably sank in Saltwick Bay, and it is said that the submerged bells can still sometimes be heard ringing.

If you like it you can (should!) buy the album telling the true story of a socialist pacifist’s fitting up by the state during the First World War directly from Mel at melbiggsmusic.co.uk/product-ca (there’s also a book of the music, if you’re really keen)

fair folk of Mastodon. This morning, a protest song written by Leon Rosselson, The World Turned Upside Down:

Ironically St George's Hill (in Weybridge, , UK) mentioned in the song is now a private gated community.

This is Napoleon’s death day, so following @barnetboy ’s lead here is June Tabor singing The Bonny Bunch of Roses.

It’s usually sung as far too much of a dirge, if I could I’d have shared English Rebellion’s cheery rendition to The Rose Tree (with bits of other tunes like The Sloe mixed in) but it doesn’t seem to be online anywhere

I realise Harry is probably now at an age when he'd like this video to be buried forever but it's the most adorable parent+child folkie duet ever, and knowing dad is filming just offscreen makes it even better. I recommend watching to the end after the singing stops.

And she said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special

Today I choose:

John Oates - Arkansas

This is the same guy from the Hall & Oates duo but he is sounding decidedly different on this album and I love it.
