Songs
I am very grateful to have received these memories of three of the songs from The Choir Outing:
- Please Mr Morgan ("asking the local Bank Manager for a loan - this was a brilliant song with totally different tempo and styles to the choir slowly pleading, and Mr Morgan rattling off the reasons not to lend anything"[1])
- Forty Seater Bus
- Here We Are in London
I don't have any further details of the songs from this unit. If you can help please get in touch by email
