St Georges Day

[sprayermick]

My local pub is celebrating St Georges day this year with lots going on and they have asked me if I could put together a CD with typically ENGLISH songs
on, old or new it doesn't matter but I am at a loss to know what put on so any suggestions would be a great help.

[ummmm]

The Clash - This is England

[retrocop]

There'll always be an England.

[Prudie]

English Country Garden
There'll be bluebirds over....

[gingejbee]

Ralph McTell's "England".....

[anneasquith]

flower of Scotland ?

[retrocop]

An English country garden.

[vulcan42]

A few listed here.

[Canary42]

Land of Hope and Glory

Jerusalem

[EcclesCake]

I have no idea what the proper words are to English Country Garden as I can only remember the playground version....

What do you do if you can't find a loo in an English country garden?
Pull down your pants and fertilise the ants in an English county garden.....

Apologies for the digression :-)

[atalanta]

Green grow the rushes

Greensleeves

Widdecombe fair

[retrocop]

I like your version eccles

[retrocop]

Roll out the barrel

[Baldric]

"Man The Barricades"

[mccfluff]

london calling

[ummmm]

You'll have to give us an idea as to what type of pub it is. I can't imagine my local ever playing 'English Country Garden' or 'Greensleeves'

[maggiebee]

atalanta, think you'll find that Green grow the Rashes is very much a Scottish song written by Robert Burns. How about Ralph McTell Streets of London?

[237SJ]

Waterloo Sunset, Baker Street, London Calling, Made in England (Elton), Solsbury Hill, Ferry cross the Mersey
