Flower of English folk singing🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you so much for posting this. My parents had a record with this on it, and I always adored it. I haven't been able to find it anywhere until now ❤

In this recording I can hear the tenor Bill Yves (hope I have the name correct). There is also a live recording of the King's Singers "At Wolf trap" in the USA from 1985. There they sang this song also. But by that time Bill Yves was already replaced by Bob Chillcot. Also a legend!

What is the lyrics here: "they'd say: ..." is it: "hi-di-ho"?

GOOD.

A beautiful song from a beautiful country

ABSOLUTEMENT.

FANTASTIC.

From one KS fan and audiophikle to another, thank you so much for this and Atlantic Bridge. Proper job :-) - mb

Used to be a great favourite with Pamela White, The Britten Singers.

Love this song. Sang it with my school a capella group in 1976, with this arrangement 😊. Gorgeous.

FANTASTIC.

My favourite. This group were the BEST.

Excellent ❤

Does anyone know where to find a transcription of this arrangement?

This was one of my parent's favourite songs. It was sung at their wedding in the early 1930s and we, their children often sang it to them, in four-part harmony, on their wedding anniversary - harmony slightly different.

LAKU Noc. Nos da. Bon Soir GOOD night. Dave.

Also on an episode of Lovejoy (Who dares sings)

Wow .. just woow.. We sang this song in the 80’s in Uganda 🇺🇬. I was in Osukuru primary school and we won.. I used to belt both soprano and alto 😂😂😂❤️❤️..what a joy to find it ❤️❤️❤️

This rendition was a favorite of my late brother. Thank you for posting it .

The Long Beach, CA public library owned this CD, and I checked it out 100x times and thought it was the most beautiful singing I've ever heard ... that was in the 90's. A lost time.

This song really needed that Bouzouki solo

though edited in two sessions, great live performances.

Sentimental, but beautiful in its simplicity. Thank you for posting this,

Yes, this is Madeline.

Brits singing about Ohio. How do you like them apples?

I saw this live back in 1994. I'll never forget it. The cloud was silent for a good 30 seconds after they finished. Still brings tears to my eyes.

I can only imagine a girl grabbing my hand and saying "DANCE WITH ME!"

Perhaps the most beautiful thing to ever fall upon the ear.

The intro is funny, and the rest is spectacular

With all the wonderful female singers in the King family why do they have these frogs singing this song as a dirge?

This song and many other songs were broadcast by the BBC for primary schools in the early 50s nice memories.

One Of My All Time Favorite King's Singers Albums🎶🎶

I've been looking for this song for almost 25 years! My high school choir teacher gave me a tape of this album and I absolutely fell in love with the King's Singers!

My first ever post on YT, I listened to this on the way to a minor bowel operation with my mum when I was 5 yrs old. It is serene, beautiful, haunting. There is something melancholic about the whole album. Driving past the fields to Sydney. The harmonies are other-worldly.

Momma's song

Who ever sing the song ,muchly appreciated,its my favorite song thank you

Prachtig

Heard this for the first time today on RU-vid. Thanks for posting!

See the Kenneth McKellar version, for the 'gold standard!' ❤

Great humour, especially when they interpolate "Killing Me Softly".

Anyone know where I can find the music for this particular version??

I spent years looking for this song. I sang it in Chorus in elementary school. I heard it once on the radio in Australia. This is a lifelong memory.

Wunderbarer Gesang... und welch Text! (heutzutage würde das allerdings viel direkter klingen: "Fick Mich!")

Amazing. Thankyou

This is so amazing! I’m singing this song in my choir class, and we sound not even an eighth as good as this.

So beautiful, I love this song.

A truly wonderful traditional song

Thrilled to have found this! Thank you so much
