0:18:23 > 0:18:29# They searched all around till a week went away
0:18:29 > 0:18:33# In the highest, the lowest, the lonesomest spot
0:18:33 > 0:18:37# Young Lovell sought wildly, but found her not
0:18:37 > 0:18:41# And as years went by their grief at last
0:18:41 > 0:18:46# Was told as a sorrowful tale long past

0:19:44 > 0:19:49# Oh, sad was her fate in sport and jest
0:19:49 > 0:19:54# She hid from her love in an old oak chest
0:19:54 > 0:20:00# It closed with a spring and the bridal bloom
0:20:00 > 0:20:07# Lay with her in there in a living tomb

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Now, unfortunately,
0:20:52 > 0:20:58John was attacked by a peacock on the way here, as you can see.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04It has resulted in him losing his voice. I think he swallowed some feathers.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10Fortunately, to step into the breach, we have Mr Sam Lee over here
0:21:10 > 0:21:13who is going to come and give us a song.

0:22:17 > 0:22:26# "For to plough this day we have great need"
0:22:26 > 0:22:33# His arms did quaver to and fro
0:22:33 > 0:22:40# His arms did quaver, he could not plough
0:22:40 > 0:22:47# The ground it did open and let him in
0:22:47 > 0:22:56# Before that he could repent of sin

0:30:50 > 0:30:54We've got an enormous feast in store now. I've got to say,
0:30:54 > 0:30:59personally speaking, that this is one of my favourite duos of all time.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02They're stunningly good-looking,

0:31:20 > 0:31:25I tell you what, I don't think much of that compere. What do you think?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I think he's rather good-looking.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Sorry. Um, we're going to do a West Country carol.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34It comes from Cornwall.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36APPLAUSE
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I think that is a first, actually. I've never been applauded for saying, "Cornwall."

0:31:47 > 0:31:50MUTED CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:31:50 > 0:31:53It was written in 1714,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57which I can tell you is quite a difficult time signature.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58LAUGHTER
0:31:58 > 0:32:01So, um, fingers crossed.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Although, I've found that's not the best method for playing accordion.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Anyway, so Softly, Good Thomas, written in 1714.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Of course, in 1714, when Ss were written as Fs,
0:32:12 > 0:32:16this would have been pronounced Foftly, Good Thomaf. LAUGHTER
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Thank goodness Paul Sartin wasn't around then.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20MILD LAUGHTER

0:32:33 > 0:32:35# As white as the milk
0:32:35 > 0:32:41# And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk
0:32:41 > 0:32:48# And Mary bore Jesus, our Saviour for to be

0:38:06 > 0:38:09where, in Allendale, a place up on the hills,
0:38:09 > 0:38:15the men of the village, they get dressed up in lots of different kinds of fancy dress
0:38:15 > 0:38:22and they put a barrel on their head and in that is tar and paraffin and other highly flammable things
0:38:22 > 0:38:25and they set them on fire and they go off on a parade around the village.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Then, just before midnight, they come back and throw it on the bonfire
0:38:29 > 0:38:33and it's a really spectacular, beautiful thing.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35One year, when we were there, it snowed as well.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39So my dad, George, was inspired to write this song.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04# No doubt you'll wonder what I'm doing here
0:44:04 > 0:44:06# But if you wait a while,
0:44:06 > 0:44:08# Sure, my tale I'll tell to thee
0:44:08 > 0:44:11# It's a tale no doubt you'll think is very queer
0:44:11 > 0:44:16# For I'm looking for a lad, he may be good or bad
0:44:16 > 0:44:19# I'm going to take the best one that I see
0:44:19 > 0:44:23# He may be young or old, curly-headed, fringed or bald
0:44:23 > 0:44:26# Yes, anything that wears the breeks for me
0:44:26 > 0:44:30# For of lads I've had my share, sure, I've had a score or more,
0:44:30 > 0:44:34# But how they threw me off I didn't know
0:44:34 > 0:44:38# For I'm neither prude nor shy, that the lads should pass me by
0:44:38 > 0:44:42# Oh, I wonder what's to do with all the men
0:44:42 > 0:44:46# Now, as I went out last night, sure I met old Sandy Wright
0:44:46 > 0:44:50# And he hauled me in as I was passing by
0:44:50 > 0:44:53# He asked me if I'd wed and this is what I said
0:44:53 > 0:44:57# If you are quite agreeable, so am I
0:44:57 > 0:45:01# Oh, I lost so much of a chance, sure, he'd try and make me dance
0:45:01 > 0:45:05# The marriage was to be right there and then
0:45:05 > 0:45:09# But when I got my marriage frock, he said it was all a joke
0:45:09 > 0:45:12# Oh, I wonder what's to do with all the men
0:45:12 > 0:45:17# Of lads, I've had my share, sure, I've had a score or more

0:46:43 > 0:46:48# If of marriage he is bent
0:46:48 > 0:46:54# Then I'd give him my consent
0:46:54 > 0:46:59# It's not every day you get a chance like me
0:46:59 > 0:47:04# For I can weave and I can work, I can sew and mend a sock
0:47:04 > 0:47:10# I'm as thrifty as any lass I know
0:47:10 > 0:47:22# For on the nail I'll hang, but if I get leave to sing
0:47:22 > 0:47:26# Oh, I'll wonder what's to do with all the men
0:47:26 > 0:47:30# Oh, of lads I've had my share, sure, I've had a score or more
