The Lammas Fair

http://www.folkonthefarm.co.uk The Lammas Fair - Lammas marked the start of the harvest when the first corn was made into Lammas bread. It was a time of great celebration and thanks giving which eventually evolved into the Christian harvest festival. The fairs held around this time were very popular events and full of the new harvest. They were not generally hiring fairs which illustrates the poignancy of this song.
