During the Victorian era many carols were banned from churches for being too happy and exuberant, so the good folk of South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire did what any self respecting citizens would do – they got some musicians and vocalists together and went down the pub instead. Singing their own versions of familiar carols whilst the mead and ale flowed.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
