The Polperro Fishermen's Choir: Two Albums From Polperro Cornwall







*Where I live, in my part of merry-old England*, we have our own carols that are peculiar to our villages. These are heard nowhere else in the world; written by locals and now sadly appropriated by musicologists who feel it's their right to glorify their GOD (whatever that might be) and lesser the tradition of a local innocent religion. But we accept this.
The Celts of Cornwall often feel as though they are privileged in their uniqueness; they're not. Many Celts live all over Britain and never treat people as badly as these Cornwallian cocks do.
*Where I live, in my part of merry-old England *we treat everyone with the respect they deserve. No one is an outcomer, or incomer or whatever you dumb-asses call it. Interbreeding doesn't make you special. 
Anyway! 
These albums show where the American tradition really came from. If a country appropriates God then they better back it up with history because your God came from YOUR homeland.
