Pauline Cordiner And Natalie Chalmers Sing Eyes Of Blue

Composed on a tram in Perm, Russian Urals, over 10 years ago, for a class who wanted a Scottish children's Xmas song - there are none till this one. The song has recently been translated into three other languages.

Whos That Up The Chimney

Written to lament the ending of a fine night of folk song and music in a pub, to the Irish tune The South Wind, and dedicated to Glesca fiddler and piper Jim Daily. It was first recorded by Janet Russell, thanks to her the song is much sung these days.

All The Tunes In The World

Written about the women thread workers in Paisley mills, thousands working together but a lonely job, dreaming of your valentine. It was first just a verse and chorus made for an Age Concern reminiscence project, till I yielded to Paisley body Danny Kyle's demands hat I make more verses.
