Isn't this a music forum? I know St Patrick's day has long been associated with music, but St Georges day?

It's a troll Kevin. Somebody trying to wind people up regarding England's Saints Day, and I for one ain't taking the bait.

You know, like Irish wear trilbies drink guinness sing fight and dance, and the English carry neatly rolled umbrellas and drink tea at four o'clock with raised little fingers...

The Sally Ironmonger Trio will be playing at the Tudor Rose, Upnor on St George's night, after a successful Paddy's night, complete with fiddler, concertina and irish dancers. Any suggestion for "pub gig" songs suitable for the English saints day?

Well, there's that nice one the Sally Ironmonger Trio do about the whore who got arrested in Chatham High Street and recognised the magistrate...

Benjamin Bowmaneer is quite jolly.

If you have a guitarist who can do what Paul Hurst used to do when the Columbian marching powder would let him, "Swaggering Boney" makes a fine instrumental.

Any number of Sid Kipper songs. I think my favourite is "Rolling Drunk".

That other jolly one about the girl who lost her maidenhead to a dashing solder who was about to get married tosomeone else, adn her mother was cross so she went back and he

"put her feet where her head was before, and so gave back her maidenhead".

Any of the variants of the False Knight on the Road.

The Bedmaking.

Nelson's Blood.

Admiral Benbow.

Gentlemen of High Renown.

Rigs of the Times.   

Ramble Away

Henry the Poacher (with chorus it lasts about 10 minutes!)

King Arthur's Days.

Once everyone is very pissed, any of the rude versions of "Old King Cole".

Chastity Belt.

THe cheerful version of John Barleycorn (hymn tune)

THe Farmer's boy

Bellman

Dido Bendigo

THat other Yorkshire foxhunting song - "Hark forrard away, hark forrard away, all to gether good hounds hark away"

Also it would seem on the 25th April is a morris dance and sing at a beer fest at the Crayford Arms Crayford. And since BG will not be there who knows, you may benefit from added margarine.
