Sweet Christmas Bells is a traditional Sheffield Carol which I first sang when as a member of the
Tyneside Maritime Chorus under
Benny Graham. Not only did I sing it but was allowed to join Benny's "band" as a concertina player for the occasion. A fan of the
The Young 'Uns, I love their version too.
This carol is among the many, many Sheffield carols with the opening first line of
While shepherds watched their flocks by night.
This song may be found in the Tyneside Maritime Chorus songbook but not yet in my personal repertoire
