The Night Singers of Brighton
Across the Atlantic in a tiny village in Newfoundland, residents sing a New Year’s carol brought from Europe with the first English and Irish settlers, and handed down through centuries in the oral tradition. For generations villagers have walked from house to house, entered darkened kitchens after midnight, and have sung the carol as occupants listened in the darkness. Producer Chris Brookes tracked down the village carolers and follows them on their rounds as they sing their medieval melodies.
