Thread Name: The National Song Book - now on line
Subject: RE: The National Song Book - now on line
Thanks for that. I was expecting it to be the usual mix of Early One Morning, Cockles and Mussels, Loch Lomond etc, but it's more interesting than that. I'm amused by the quaint reference to the "Keltic" tunes and the patronising assumption that these may cause problems for English children.

It makes an interesting comparison with Howard Goodall's "Song Bank", aimed at primary schools http://www.singup.org/songbank/
