The story behind 'Sunset Over Cucklett Delf' and other tunes

Based in Northamptonshire, Pamela Ward and Paul Cherrington have been playing and writing music for 30 years. From winning the Brewhouse Music prize in 1987 they have toured the U.K. and parts of the Middle East and Mediterranean. They have been session recording artists and studio guests for a variety of projects, including late night programmes The Early Show and Night Ride for BBC Radio 2 and commissioned work from Japan and Denmark.

They are acclaimed song writers and finalists in international song writing competitions. Some of their work has been recorded and performed by other artists on the U.K. folk circuit.

Destination Album - Fellside 'Destination' is a multi-disc compilation loosely charting the story of Fellside Recordings and includes the track “I Live Not Where I Love” which we recorded on the Brewhouse label in 1988. After 42 years as one of the UK's specialist record companies, this is the final folk album release from Fellside. 'Destination' comprises 3 CDs with 64 tracks by many well known artists on the folk circuit. We are delighted to be included on this album.

Dancing at Grenoside
We wrote Dancing at Grenoside in celebration of the longsword dancers of Grenoside, a district in Sheffield. Each year on Boxing Day they dance outside the Harrow pub in Grenoside. It is a unique sword dance and also features the ritual 'beheading' of the captain near the beginning of the dance. They have been doing this every year for the past 200 years and we thought they deserved a song. A transcript of Dancing at Grenoside is printed in the current Winter issue of the magazine Tykes Stirrings. Here is a link to a home recorded video of the song.
