BBC Singing Together |
In the unlikely event that the Substitute Scribe has any readers from among the Younger Generation he apologises to them for the obscurity of this week's title.
Singing Together was an educational programme back in the days when the only multimedia presentations for school students were delivered by moving a 'portable' (i.e. capable of being lifted by two people)
Bakelite radio from room to room.
For many of us, it was our first introduction to folk music, and it was remembered this week when Colin sang
Grey Hawk (
Roud 293), a song Derek recalled voting for (the only one in his class who did) at the end of term Eurovision Song Contest type vote for best song. John P then recalled from the same source, and sang,
Lincolnshire Poacher (Roud 299).
