Thread Name: Canal songs (UK)
Subject: RE: Canal songs (UK)
John K. I was eating, a steak with a whisky sauce as I remember. I can't remember much else though. I know about the Mikron Theatre Company and enjoyed two of their productions last year. They still tour the waterway system performing at canalside venues and their 2008 dates can be found on their web-site. I have some of their recordings but have not included any of their songs on my 'Songs of the Inland Waterways' web-site as yet. Their songs constitute a large body of material which is often rather specifically related to the productions that they featured in and, in my humble opinion, some of the songs don't past muster when taken out of context (though I can't speak too highly of their productions - they are a 'must-see' as far as I am concerned). As I don't want to exclude any song from the database on the basis of my opinion, I have not tackled this problem yet. I may just link to their web-site. I have done something similar with the songs written by 'Keepers Lock' but this is because they seek to sell song-books containing them and I do not wish to infringe copyright.
