(This thread has probably been done before so apologies if so).
At a recent boozy cave related event I was very chatting to a more senior seasoned caver than my self about cave huts and music.
Most caving huts/ cottages/ bunk house I have visited what ever you want to call them have someone with either a laptop, ipod, speakers, wi fi maybe and that?s not a bad thing in my mind.
But also most folk I have met on the subject love a sing song and swinging a tankard of ale. Impromptu out breaks of caving songs about local legends and comic club rivalry.
On the whole I find it is the ?elders? that know the words and the tunes and us young?ens (cough) don?t.
I know there are many young?ens who would like to keep these traditions going and take them forward to future generations of cavers.
I don?t know about you, but I?d actively encourage the sharing of this form of folk music and love to hear more of it so that it is not lost....
