Number 2 - these are in no order.
Singing Together - Summer 1972
As I was going along the road, to see the flowers a-springing - Irish folk song REap the flax - Swedish folk dance The Gypsies - Gaelic folk song Loudly proclaim - Welsh traditional song Taffta Hindi - Arabian folk song No other moon - Brazilian folk song Water come a me eye - Jamaican folk song Fire down below - English sea shanty
Much more folky - but what is the difference between folk and traditional? Fire down below reminds me of the first Jennings book, where the boys singing this song reminds the Head to have a drill, with, as they say, hilarious consequences. Penny
