Tar Barrel in Dale - how Allendale brings in the new year.

Another one from Rose's debut concert as MD of Manchester Community Choir, on Sunday November 17th 2019 at Didsbury Baptist Church.
Written by George Unthank this song celebrates the hair-raising new year festival held every year in Allendale Northumberland at which blazing barrels of tar are carried on the heads of guysers, local men and women whose families have been doing it since time immemorial.
