I found these threads a few days ago and intended to return when I had more time because there were useful links and details of websites such as a digital hymn listing. Now I can't find them again. I'm so glad others liked O'er the ocean flies a merry fay . . .I often sing the bits of that I can remember.

I've tried contacting Alban on the aol address given, about the Pennine Way music (Feb 2010) which I'm trying to trace, but that address is no longer live. Are you out there still? And if so, can you reply here if you're willing to share the music with me too? Thanks!

Would love to get copies of the words/music from these books - fantastic primary school memories and now that I'm singing again, would like to try them out with friends. Would love to buy/or be sent material. "That's George that I hear was a particular favourite and does anyone remember "Blustering madcap weather"? How can I get in touch?

They come up on ebay sometimes but I don't follow the auctions. You've probably got one of the larger collections of songs from there anyway Joe as part of the folkinfo thing you host. This will be a bit messy but you have the following (just replace the xxx with the number in your url: http://www.joe-offer.com/folkinfo/songs/xxx.html)

I received a number of pamphlets from 1959-65 is the post the other day (thanks somebody). When I get more time, I'll see if I can add any extra songs to the old folkinfo database and if Joe is willing, turn them into web pages to add to the archive he hosts.

And here is a contents of books built from the above data. Some song titles in the books are missing most commonly because we had added the song from another source (including Singing Together duplicates). There was a more complete index at folkinfo but it wasn't included Joe's archive (I only used discussions which had songs "attached"). I'll see if I can make getting a more complete index together some time but I can't put that together in a 5 minute job from what we have.

Does anyone recall a song from 67 about a girl waiting for her boyfriend/husband to come back from the sea? I sewed a felt on hessian picture on the subject.

Hi, Annie - do you remember any phrases from the song that would help us find it? There are lots of girls waiting for lovers to come home from sea, usually after seven long years of celibacy....

I tried to find the 'Singing Together' books online but did not find them. Neither did I find a site by Kernow John.

Perhaps someone else will have better luck.

John's website has gone, I believe, as has the site 'folkinfo' that I worked on for several years. Around two dozen of the Singing together booklets were transcribed and can be found amongst other songs in a copy of the folkinfo site at http://www.joe-offer.com/folkinfo/.

There's a BBC Radio 4 programme on Singing Together that's still available here (click). The programme says that Singing Together was broadcast for 50 years, but only three recorded programmes have been found.

And note that Jon Freeman has posted a fairly complete index of the Singing Together songs from folkinfo here (click)

Anybody know how to access the stuff that Kernow John had posted?

I've seen scans of a number of Singing Together booklets, and they're a delight to behold. It would be a wonderful thing for BBC to make them forever available.

In the 1950s and 1960s, US publishers Follett, Ginn, and Silver Burdett published school songbooks that were of similar style and quality. You'll find the contents of these wonderful books in our Songbook Indexing Project. If you'd like to see one of the songs in our index, just post a request in the pertinent index thread.

I've recently been improving my collection of "Singing Together" and "Time & Tune", mostly via Ebay. Sometimes it means buying several books just to fill one gap in the list.
Tonight, being at a loose end, I've started cataloguing the contents. It looks like being a longish job, but I've copied some of the list to another thread where there was already a partial list.

As ever, if there's a song someone particularly wants, and I have it, I'm happy to transcribe (given time) or to scan & email a page (less work for me!)

I now have Singing Together complete from 1961-1971 inclusive, and can start releasing duplicates via Ebay (to recoup some costs)
I'm keeping an eye out for Autumn 1960, so that I can claim I have the whole of the sixties (in various standards of repair)

Off course there's some 'dross' among the songs, but some gems hidden in there as well.

Hi Nigel.I'm afraid I'm very late coming to your site, but Singing Together was a small but important part of my primary school years. I have to admit that I can still be heard singing parts of these songs.      (Only parts as I can't remember all of them, and only when I'm alone!)
I have often wished that I still had those books and have thought that I should look on the web. Well, today I did and was thrilled to see just how much there is, and your Thread seemed to be what I'm looking for.

My era is from the late sixties until 1972. One book I know is called The Chockabox, not certain of the spelling, and one was Russian songs. Another had a song of which part was:I can't go to school today he said; it's raining, it's raining again.
I also remember the Caribbean song Mango Walk. One of the verses was 'Won't you give me back my shilling with the lion on it'.
I hope you can help me re-live those happy times. If not, I have still enjoyed seeing how many others have happy memories. Thank you. Lynne

Words for Mango Walk

As a teacher in the early seventies, I adored doing the Singing Together lessons with the children. I well remember Mango Walk, and we used to sing it as a round. It needs a certain 'swing' to it, or the children just sing it in a very 'English' way with no bezazz.

Subject: RE: Songbooks: Singing Together books on Web Site
From: Nigel Parsons
Date: 11 May 18 - 06:34 AM

Hi, Eliza.
As I said in the link I gave earlier, the 'swing' or 'bezazz' can be accounted for:

The music is almost identical. The differences being the addition of guitar chords, the addition of an simple melodic accompaniment line (with intro) giving the Calypso beat for each line (dotted crotchet, dotted crotchet, crotchet). Also the final bar gives both notes as crotchets, with a crotchet rest and then the first note of the next verse.

It's raining again can be found Here as "The Rain Song" (scroll down a little way)

I do apologise Nigel, but you see, crotchets and quavers and so on don't mean much to me as I can't read music at all. I play the piano by ear (I can do chords, and play with both hands) but have never learned notation.
I also remember doing 'It's Raining Again'. My very naughty eleven year-olds used to make me giggle. They'd sing "It's bloooody... raining again!" under their breath, and thought I couldn't hear it. Just the sort of thing my friends and I would do as children. Some of our Christmas carol parodies would make our teachers' hair stand on end, especially 'We Three Kings'.. .

Hi John!

Yes, I'm interested. I loved the Singing Together at school and still sing the songs that I can remember. I would love a set.
Do yours go back to 1957 1958?

Best regards

These come up frequently on eBay, or if you're after particular songs there's a contents list Here. And I can arrange to send scans of individual songs. Cheers Nigel
