to the tune of On Ilkley Moor Ba' Tat???

I'm seriously p*ssed off, people offered me help to get a choir up and running for Christmas, I discussed with the key "helper" what we would sing - and we had an initial rehearsal last week where I thought everything was sorted.

Turned up for practice tonight to find "someone" has changed half the songs, we're singing While Shepherds Watched to that tune and a practice had been arranged for a night I can't do!!!

WW - that's it.

Kermit - this is a CoE church! And at the moment, despite the vicars protestations telling me to stay, I'm sorely tempted to throw in the towel (so to speak) and let them find a new organist.......

I like "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun". It's on the Bob Rivers Twisted Christmas site.

No. That is not a good tune for a christmas carol. And I speak as one whose grandmother was born in Ilkely

Not my favourite carol anyway but better with the proper tune.
