Ian Hendrie Wanted - Canal tunes and songs (77* d) RE: Wanted - Canal tunes 18 Oct 12

Glad to hear the project is progressing but (pedant alert!) how do you write a tune 'about' Fradley Junction? Once you get into it does it split and go in two separate directions?

I can understand people writing tunes which evoke feelings about aspects of our waterway system and naming them accordingly but I think I'd need extensive album notes to explain this to my unsophisticated ear. Far easier to write a canal song than a canal tune.

My understanding of the thread subject was tunes that were or might have been played by people working on the canals. Have many of these been brought to light?
