Thread Name: Union songs with a great chorus?
Subject: RE: Union songs with a great chorus? (UK)
Thanks Noreen. I nearly didn't open this thread because it said UK. I've told John about it, and he might post here in the next day or so - he's on his way to bed right now. He's quite interested in the idea. As well as "Bring Out the Banners", he's got a new song that would be very appropriate - Join Your Union to the tune of Guide me O thou Great Jehovah/Bread of Heaven/Cwm Rhondda.

If anyone wants to contact John, it would be best to send me a PM. He doesn't check his very often.

Then there's Albion's Shore, Joe Hill, and one we did in the Solidarity Choir - We Shall Not Give Up the Fight. You can do a lot with that one. Verses can be adapted to the occasion, the words are easy to teach, and it's suitably rousing.
