*Belle* Â Â 10 #25 Posted September 19, 2012 A bit early to be talking Chrismas??? However, my favourite was always Mel Torme;s "Christmas Song" until I heard Michael Buble sing "Grown up Christmas Wish". That certainly rings all my bells !

mossdog   10 #31 Posted September 20, 2012 I saw her with a brass quartet performing this (and joined in) live last Christmas. It is on her Christmas CD, including lots of local carols. Sweet Bells includes lots of the words of 'When Shepherds Watched Their Flocks' but to a completely different tune. If you like the real local Xmas tunes,try listening to Humble Swain a local group of singers singing local carols if that does not remind you of a local Xmas I don't know what would! John Fowler has CDs..2331467, all proceeds to local charities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Steptoad   12 #33 Posted September 20, 2012 We always used to sing a carol called "Sweet Bells". I think this was sometimes called the Sheffield Carol, and I know Kate Rusby has recorded it on a CD. Does anyone else remember this one? I remember Dr Ian Russell, who took us for music at Hunters Bar, teaching us a version of While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks, that incorperated Sweet Bells as a chorus. Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells, They cheer us on our heavenly way, Sweet chiming bells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

John Fowler has CDs..2331467, all proceeds to local charities.  I'm not from Sheffield originally, so I've discovered all of this since moving up here from the Black Country, home of Slade, where all traditional Christmas songs seem to have been replaced by the dulcet tones of a certain Mr Holder and his chums.  This is one of the local traditions of which Sheffielders should be rightfully proud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
