Subject: Trad Songs about friends and family From: GUEST,Emmie Date: 28 Jan 25 - 11:17 AM I am running some workshops in schools and will be using traditional British or American folk songs as a basis for a theme about friends and family. So far I am thinking of adapting some sea shanties i.e. Windy Old weather, haul away Joe, Bold Riley and using the chorus. I am also thinking of connections between people and doing some songs about weaving. I would really appreciate any other ideas people can give me, |

Subject: RE: Trad Songs about friends and family From: The Sandman Date: 28 Jan 25 - 11:44 AM Windy old weather was a work song, to be precise a net hauling song. Broton Town, is a song about Family. |
Subject: RE: Trad Songs about friends and family From: GUEST Date: 28 Jan 25 - 12:35 PM Thanks Jack for some extra ideas. Thanks sandman. Yes I was aware that the sea shanties are work songs but they still have a message about pulling together in this windy old weather etc so it could be used as the basis for song writing about friendship. I will look up broton town, thank you for that idea |
