FOR the last few years I have been undertaking research into carolling traditions. I am particularly interested in carol singing groups that go out on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year's Eve.

I am also interested in carol singers that have a long history in singing carols or who sing their own local carols.

If any readers have information on any such groups I would be very pleased to hear from them.
