Thread Name: What songs did Mudcatters learn in school
Subject: RE: What did Mudcatters learn in school
It's great to see so many people remembering old school songs. My music teacher in junior school had a lot of facial hair which I thought at the time was unusual, especially as she was a woman , I Think, But being from the North East of England we all spoke in the "Geordie" accent and so sang songs using the same dialect. The teacher spent most of her time trying knock this nasty habit out of our voices and even the "Geordie" songs like "Water Of Tyne" had to be sung in B.B.C, (British Broadcasting Coperation) english. There were two types of songs learned in my school, the official ones with the teacher and the unofficial ones learned behind the bike shed, I'm not sure if it means anything, but I can only remember the unofficial ones. I havn't heard any comments from Irish mudcatters yet?
