Song is also known as "Sorrows away". This version is based on an arrangement by the Poozies. This concert was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. there are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the winter are performed at St. Peters by the Waterfront, Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  less

Bring us in good ale is a mediaeval drinking song. the premise of the song is that the singers (or players) want no food and so they find all sorts of reasons not to eat: they just want good ale!
