If anyone's still looking for details of Music Workshop I've just received a number of additional copies for my collection, and updated the contents list on Mudcat Here

Some of the ones I received were duplicates of those already held and will be going on eBay in the next few days.

Ooops! Should have said the missing word is "Lortls" which is an anagram of "Trolls".

Hi Fran,

I've started my own thread in Mudcat called "Which BBC Schools Broadcast around 1966". In this thread, somebody (from a link provided) pointed out that the missing word is "Lortl" (which is an anagram of "Troll"). I had half-remembered the word "Mortal" but knew that must be wrong. Using this information, I found that the song is called the "Lortl Song" and is included in "Time and Tune - BBC Radio for Schools - Spring Term 1966". Just found and bought it on Amazon!

The accompanying description on Amazon is: "A music series offering children opportunities to listen to music and sing along, with creative suggestions and games to develop music appreciation and skills. This pamphlet has a witches and wizards theme and contains six songs - Susy Little Susy, The Riddle, The Little Pig, Lortl Song, The Weather Witch and Missa Ram Goat".

When I receive the pamphlet I'll put all the words in the aforementioned thread.

hello Richard I still have this song in my head after 50+ years I would love to know what the title of it is
Around my father's garden the ***** are at play.
And everyone who sees them says oh how sweet are they. But little do they know that they're out to have some fun.
Come into the garden, see if we can trick someone,
come into the garden, hurry everyone". (French Traditional tune)

I'm looking for a BBC schools music broadcast pamphlet from around 1966 that includes songs that I recall from the time to include the following lines:

1) "With a plane smooth the grain, get the surface to your liking, only fools blame their tools when the skill is lacking.
Craftsman get their satisfaction from the standards set them, no apprentice to the art would ever dare forget them"

2) "My old tin car makes a lot of noise along the street,
for bits drop off as the carburettor gathers heat,
a magnet at the rear attracts the bits from falling clear,
I know it's nothing much to look at but it gets me there.

3) "Around my father's garden the ***** are at play.
And everyone who sees them says oh how sweet are they. But little do they know that they're out to have some fun.
Come into the garden, see if we can trick someone,
come into the garden, hurry everyone". (French Traditional tune)

PLEASE CAN YOU HELP AND TELL ME WHICH BBC PAMPHLET THESE SONGS ARE IN!

Many thanks, and sorry if I've posted in the wrong place,

Richard

Hi Brendy, Time and Tune and Singing Together are different school radio programmes to Music Workshop & Music Makers.

Time and Tune & Singing Together were produced by Douglas Coombes. Music Workshop & Music Makers were produced by Peter Hutchings.

Thanks, Gopula

Hi, I am looking for pre-1991 recordings of the BBC Radio for Schools programmes BBC Music Workshop & Music Makers presented by Ian Humphris and produced by Peter Hutchings. I also want publications which accompany both series, particularly the Teachers Notes/Piano Parts, among others (I am willing to pay).

I am keen to acquire the above as I used to maintain regular correspondence with Peter Hutchings and met him again recently.

If anyone is able to help, please contact me at [e-mail] Thanks so much, Nicola (Gopula)
