Could there ever be a better time to unveil a 50-strong cavalcade of tunes that typify our unique British character, pay tribute to our Churchillian bulldog spirit and celebrate the rich heritage of this sceptred isle? Gathered here are the singalong songs that helped us ‘keep calm and carry on’ as the bombs rained down - Bless ‘Em All, Sing As We Go, There’ll Always Be An England and more ... comic gems poking gentle fun at our inimitable fancies and foibles, such as Messing About On The River and Football Crazy ... and a whole string of rousing ‘chin-up’ songs that can still lift the heart and raise a smile.
Tracks include:
‘We Shall Fight Them On The Beaches’ - Winston Churchill speech, The White Cliffs Of Dover - Vera Lynn, Everything Stops For Tea - Sam Costa, The Stately Homes Of England - Noel Coward, Down At The Old Bull And Bush - Florrie Forde, Calling All Workers - Eric Coates and Orchestra, Barwick Green (The Archers) - Sidney Torch, I Whistle A Happy Tune - Gertrude Lawrence, A Nice Cup Of Tea - Binnie Hale, Right Said Fred - Bernard Cribbins, Keep Right On To The End Of The Road - Harry Lauder, Count Your Blessings - Luton Girls Choir, Happy Days Are Here Again - Jack Payne, Hey Neighbour - Flanagan and Allen, and many more ...
