Thread Name: Which songs are most sung in UK clubs?
Subject: RE: Which songs are most sung in UK clubs?
I rarely hear When All Men Sing and still like it perhaps because it's a surprise when I do. Heard it at the Black Bull Bender in Tranmire and met Scowie there who wrote it sitting on a hay bale. Great chorus song with a room full of singers.
Linda Kelly's Northern Tide and Sweet Minerva and a few others that she wrote are getting more sung which is excellent.
Dougie Macleans Caledonia is sung a lot.
Cousin Jack (Show of Hands) I hear quite a lot.
Shoals of Herring making a comeback presumably after Bob Fox revived it as being ok to sing.
If Wishes Were Fishes and a range of Eric Bogle songs.
Waltzing for Dreamers and lots of Richard Thompson songs.
