For people all over England, market day in their local town was an occasion to
meet, shop and trade and it was also the one day that pubs were open all day.
Not surprisingly, many old singers have said it was the occasion for a song or
two to be sung. Here we have a celebration of traditional English
unaccompanied singing, mainly from the southern half of the country, with
performers from South Yorkshire to Gloucestershire and from Sussex to
Derbyshire. These are not professional singers but working people who sing
songs from their own rural and urban back-grounds, who would always be happy
to meet up with other singers and entertain the crowd gathered in their local
market tavern
