We're open to name change suggestions. We're currently going by "Lincoln Tradition(s)", but I'm a little unsure as to whether it sounds as though we're doing a City Waits kind of a thing, which we're not. What we're *actually* doing is very traditional english part-songs, mostly seasonal, and largely accapella, with some melodeon, percussion and brass accompaniment, as seems appropriate. The name we liked the most was "Baggsy Not Norma", but as we all know both Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, and would like to carry on knowing them on a personal, rather than litigous, basis, we think that may be out :-)

Some of the photos from this session were hysterical, particularly the ones where we all broke out in spontaneous "Manhatten Transfer" songs and the ones where Liam was telling jokes involving Kate Rusby and some lard...

Heather and Royston Wood :-) They were rather wonderful - I don't *think* there were four of them (I suppose I should do a Google search, but need to serve tea in a second). I don't *think* Royston Wood was her husband, either, but once again, I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Royston died rather tragically when he stepped out of his car to help a fellow motorist who had broken down, and was hit by an out-of-control lorry.

I think Heather is an SF fan, as well...

And yes, the "Ratatata-DA" was exactly what we were singing at the moment of hilarity!

You are of course correct on both counts. According to Wikipedia, there were only the three of them in the Young Tradition, and Wood was Heather's maiden name, and she and Royston were not related.

That will teach me to post something without checking first! :)
