A New Year Ryestream

As the Christmas decorations are packed away for another year, we look forward cautiously to a brighter and better 2021. Here is the Ryedale Festival’s New Year gift. Please click below to enjoy a traditional Yorkshire carol arranged by Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Britten’s setting of an ancient folk song, and ‘Yorkshire poet’ Ian McMillan reading a poem that W.H. Auden wrote in 1941, finding hope in even ‘the most trying time of all’.
