Beltane/May Day 2024

 

for summer is a’comin’ in

And winter’s gone away-o


from the May carol “Hal-An-Tow” 

traditionally sung on May 8 in Helston, Corwall


Beltane is the first day of summer in the Celtic calendar midway between the vernal equinox and the summer solstice. Here’s a 1965 BBC video of The Waterstons singing Hal-A-Tow.
