music associated with where you live

Green Glens of Antrim
Danny Boy

No apology mcem. I knew it was up wi' the bonnets. We sang it at school and I have heard it often over the years.

Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, la,la la. A rousing song.

Oooops! Sorry Agus. Maybe I should have said Up wi' the bonnets o ' Bonnie Dundee. More recognisable perhaps?

Can't stop singing Bonnie Dundee now mcem

Bonnie Dundee about Graham of Claverhouse and The Road and the Miles to Dundee. As children we always sang the latter on the way home from holidays and day-trips.

Ok so I copied this from UTube - Norfolk's Heaving Cleavages youtu.be/mEHKRW2AIMU. I think it should work, it's worrying what you get when you search for Heaving Cleavages!

Welsh hymns. Can't remind you of anywhere but Wales. And anything with a harp in it, naturally.

I found this through Google. Not something I've ever hear before.

If the link doesn't work it's called Hopping Down in Kent. You won't miss much if it doesn't.

"The Skye Boat Song" which relates to The Outer and Inner Hebrides

For those living around Runcorn and Widnes, there is Noël Coward's song -"When It's Raspberry Time in Runcorn"...

Oh yes there is...

I suppose we've got Englebert Humperdinck and Kasabian but they are hardly traditional either

Then there's the Heaving Cleavages of course. (I tried to copy the U Tube Link but couldn't). They're brilliant.

The best I can think of for Norfolk is Hev Yew Gotta
Loight Bor by the Singing Postman -who was really from Lincolnshire thank goodness.

The Sheringham Shantymen have some good sea and fishing songs though.

Brilliant jing Thank you ! I hadn't thought that it 'came' from here but I suppose it does now.

I can't think of anything like 'The Keel Row' though!

None from Brum as above but too many to list from my Irish heritage.

something like this kittylester?

I can't think of any for my bit of the UK!

Dirty Old Town

At the Rottenstall Annual Fayre

Always look on the bright side of Life

(north west so we have to….)

Doing the Lambeth Walk
I live in Trafalgar Square

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
Knock 'em down the Old Kent Road
My old man's a dustman
Burlington Bertie from Bow
We are the Peckham Girls

What about Oranges and Lemons, Eloethan?
I am not sure about St Clements and St Martins, but Shoreditch, Stepney, and the Great Bell of Bow are certainly in East London

I'm in east London - no tune, as far as I am aware, for this particular area but perhaps "Waterloo Sunset" can do for all of London.

Trevor Duncan's St. Boniface Down (Isle of Wight)

I no longer live there but it will always be my spiritual home.

Again from North East England. What about the Lambton Worm, which my dad used to sing? It goes on forever, but the chorus is:

Whisht! Lads, haad yor gobs,
An Aa'll tell ye's aall an aaful story
Whisht! Lads, haad yor gobs,
An' Aa'll tell ye 'boot the worm.

And there's Dance To Your Daddy, Close the Coalhouse Door, The Oak and the Ash.

I can only think of Leaving on a jet plane for me.
