Historical repertoire -
Thomas Leathard was our conductor in 1909 when we opened a concert with
"Comrades' Song of Hope".
The Prudda
Lads
This old ballad, written by G.W. Ridley, is a celebration of Prudhoe and
the surrounding area as told by a local lad. He recalls his
childhood memories
playing in the cornfields and walking in the beautiful
countryside. But things take a turn for the worse. He is
branded a thief and leaves Prudhoe under a cloud of suspicion
leaving his poor mother in tears. He now laments his exile and
would pledge a fortune if only he could return to the town of his birth.
In 2008
the choir adopted the ballad as its own anthem after it was arranged
for male voice choir and soloists by S.Robinson. It remains a
firm favourite after it received an enthusiastic response upon its
debut at the choir's Annual Concert in May 2008.
