Category? I can't see how "This pop standards-related article..." can possibly be appropriate. The music is orchestral, from the 1920s, and is certainly not a song. (There are words known, but mostly rude and certainly not canonical). The only non-orchestral rendering I know of is by the British humorous folk group, The Yetis, who included it ironically in a 1970s album. It is very hard to imagine Frank Sinatra singing this on the stage, and so it seems to fall outside the definition from the Pop Standards page. Brunnian (talk) 09:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After an encouraging response to ticket [Ticket#2008031510003145] I have removed "pop-standard-stub". If there is an appropriate musical category it would be Light Orchestral. I did consider requesting such a category, but only half understood the stub creation process and have no intention of trying to find another 59 similar mistakes. I know about Barwick Green, I am not a general musicologist.

As to further expanding the article, I wonder what more could meaningfully be said? It's a jolly tune associated with the worlds longest-running soap opera. That's about it really. Brunnian (talk) 15:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Recently on Radio 4 I have heard it pronounced "Bar-wick Green" (as in "Camberwick Green) and "Barrick Green" (like "Barracks"). I think one may have been by Paul Gambaccini on Counterpoint, but if I recall correctly this was with the W pronunciation; not particularly surprising considering his American (or at least transatlantic) accent, but if anything you would think he would be the one to get it "wrong".

Is there any definitive pronunciation? I suppose I could try asking the BBC Pronunciation Unit if I could be that bothered. Si Trew (talk) 01:06, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In response to Si Trew, My surname is Barwick and is pronounced Bar-wick, not Barrick. It is used in this way by every family member that I have met, both here in the U.K. and abroad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.210.141.175 (talk) 19:14, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably it should be pronounced like the village after which it's named. According to the Wikipedia entry, "Barwick-in-Elmet is referred to locally as simply Barwick, with a silent 'w' pronounced "Bar-rick"." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulwilliam2 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
