Very sad news on the passing of #ChrisRea who left a musical legacy but will forever be remembered in my mind for popping an egg into Bob Mortimer’s bath

#ChristmasCarol In 2023 we unearthed a Christmas carol that had been lost for 90 years.
Christmas Eve (The Barnsley Carol) by Arthur Godfrey had been published in @ChronOnline in 1933 with the hope it would be sung in Barnsley at Christmastide
