With the first pub sings behind us, we reflect on the first carols of the year and speak to Patrick from folk band The Foxglove Trio. In 2019 they put out a version of Stannington and we find out how it came about.

Sheffield at Christmas. It's so much more than traffic jams at Meadowhall. For on the north-western edge of the city you'll find a musical tradition to rival the best in the world. In the run up to Christmas, people gather in the pubs, drink local beer and sing local carols - ones you've probably never heard of before. Join writer Peter Naldrett and carol enthusiast Andrew Fox as they try their best to document this very local tradition. They can't wait to hear from you - and maybe they'll even see you for a drink and a sing this Christmas!
