The Alrewas Canal Festival web-site contains details of a planned Canal Song DVD and is looking for interested musicians to help. To quote :

"In June 2012, British Waterways (BW), the current guardian of some 2,000 miles of navigable canals in the UK, will be transformed into a new waterways charity, the Canal & River Trust.

As a celebration for the new charity, we invite musicians and song writers to take part in a project to record a DVD of old and new canal songs.

The new charity will attract national media attention, so we hope the Canal Song DVD will also be an opportunity to promote the musicians and composers whose songs are recorded."
