Welcome to the Tykes’ Stirrings Web Site!

An amalgamation of Tykes News (West Yorkshire) and Stirrings (South Yorkshire)

Tykes Stirrings is a quarterly print magazine about folk music, song and dance. It covers Yorkshire and surrounds, and is read by people as far afield as the US and Australia; even by one or two in Lancashire! You can find out more about Tykes Strrrings and its history by entering Tykes Towers.

Note our new new address: tykesstirrings.org.uk. If you have a web site with a link to the old Tykes News or Stirrings address we'll be much obliged if you could update it.

Tykes Stirrings
Winter Issue

No 14: Winter ’23/’24

THE LAST LOAD HOME – an important notice

TykesStirrings will cease publishing with the Winter 24/25 issue, one year from now. This means that the next issue – Spring 2024 – is the last yearly subscription we will be offering. Neither will we be offering four issue ad deals – it’s buy by the issue from now on, chaps.

The reasons and time-line are outlined in the magazine, and as you can imagine, it has not been a simple or easy decision. The plan is to allow subscriptions to run out naturally, with no-one owing anyone anything. There will be individual copies available through the year, but at a price yet to be determined. Club and retail sales will not be affected, still being available, issue by issue, through the year.

In sadness,
Jim Ellison
