Those of you who grew up in 1970s/80s #Britain - do you remember #SingingTogether from #BBC #schools #Radio ?

Started in 1939 (to give kids something to do as a distraction if they got evacuated due to wartime) and carried on until the 2000s - when I was in junior school it was timeshifted by recording the radio programme on a spool of tape played back on a Philips N4308 reel to reel (these had good frequency response even at 9,5 cm/s and the mono audio didn't really matter)

I still remember this song (an anti-Celtic stereotype that would be unpopular today, also not sure if it was age-appropriate for 10 year olds to sing about their "link a lum lee" (it was still the days of Saville and co)

If you know anyone up-island who might love to #sing with others for the joy of it in #Nanaimo or #Parksville, Sylvia hosts informal #SongCircles with uplifting, harmony-rich songs taught by ear, with lots of creativity and movement, and sometimes collaborations with visiting songleaders. She's from the #UbuntuChoirsNetwork - who believe singing is a universal human birthright! It's all about #harmony and #connection rather than perfection.
