Hovering Bob Songs about World War I (148* d) RE: Songs about World War I 30 Jun 06

As Kitty has said Les Sullivan has written a number of excellent songs about WW1 and several of these will be included in "The Flanders Experience" a show I've written, with the help of several others, about WW1 in Flanders.
"The Flanders Experience" is actually the name of the folk festival that I run each year in early November taking folk enthusiasts over to the WW1 battlefields , museums and memorials in the Ypres Salient.
I hire 'Talbot House' in Poperinghe, the original 'Everyman's Club' started by the Rev. Tubby Clayton, which is still there and maintained as it was 90 years ago.
From the interest generated by the festival several of the participants have written songs; Les Sullivan, as already mentioned, Mike Sparks, Pete Chapman and myself just for starters.
If you would like more information on these songs or "The Flanders Experience" itself, PM me and I'll be pleased to supply what I have.

All the best,

Bob H.
