Thread Name: Lyr Req: Unity (John Tams)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Raise your banner high
More praise for Raise your Banner - what a great song this is. We did a horrendous gig at a Day Care centre when one of our accapella trio was sick - and after suffering us struggling 2-parting through 3-part arrangements the old dears stopped muttering gummily about where was the tea and biscuits and were really enthusiastic about this song (or maybe it's because we mentioned it in the same breath as MARGARET THATCHER and they thought it was about her? :))

Anyway, as a rule I've found it's song that has universal appeal - so well worth putting in the repertoire!
