The two songs written for the Festival - "The Song Makers" by Douglas Coombes and "Singing Together" by Kevin Edwards - will feature in a Radio Sheffield re-creation of the "Singing Together" radio broadcasts which William Appleby hosted for many years.
Hear a clip from Singing Together hosted by William Appleby in 1967.
This video clip was recorded during the dome events on 17 & 18 March 2007
All primary schools are being sent copies of the songs to teach to their pupils in Key-Stage 2 with help from our staff where required. The radio broadcast will be some time in June (details to be confirmed) We hope, at this time when the government has just announced its plans to promote singing in schools, that all schools involved will take half an hour out of their day to remember the way the nation's children were encouraged to learn to appreciate the joy of singing.
The songs are avilable below for download so everyone can sing along!
We are grateful to the Headteacher, Music Coordinator and choir of Scawsby Saltersgate Junior school, Doncaster, for the enthusiastic recordings on this page.
