premo Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 For those who might like to look at a selection of Victorian tunes in their original condition have a look at www.collectbritain.co.uk and follow the 'Collections' link and then the 'Sing along' link. The tunes are scored for piano, but I am sure that concertinists of the period would have played some of them. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart estell Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 What a marvellous resource; thanks so much for posting this. And you've made me a doubly happy man, as I've just found the song "Birmingham, the workshop of the world" - I've been needing a corny song to sing about my home town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldpaulson Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 A little more paging, and some enterprising sort could have a medley of all those "galops" -- The Galop, Galop, Galop. To be fair, it seems there are a lot of tunes in the collection about swells and piers, even swells walking on piers. Great fun to page through! ldp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
