On Thursday I attended the latest meeting in St Anne’s Hall of the Babbacombe and St Marychurch History Society. We enjoyed another excellent talk and presentation given by Rosemary Griggs with the help of her husband David. Her talk was about how Christmas was celebrated in Tudor England and this included her husband singing some songs from the Tudor period. Recently the English folk musician Jim Causley had told me about the folk band Isca Fair who I had not heard of before. It came as a bit of a surprise to me when Rosemary mentioned in her talk that her husband used to sing for Isca Fair. He has certainly got a really great singing voice.
