Here goes. This is my first message on one of these things. Anyone know the words to a song which the Albion Band did as part of their "Albion River Hymn" show about "swan-upping"? It started with the lne: "My name is Harry Harris and I'll sing to you a song". I saw this show in Nottingham several years ago (actually that was probably MANY years ago)and thoroughly enjoyed it, though I don't think it was very popular with the public. Thanks.

Can't help with the song I'm afraid but this will tell all about Swan-Upping.

I've not heard of this Dave, but I know a man who can... meanwhile, can you shed any light on this?

I've got the Albions tape 'Songs From The Shows' which includes SU'ing and many other good 'uns. I'll have a listen and write out the words if you like.

Simon.
