| | Music for St Georges DayPage 1 of 1 | | I've been asked to play some music tomorrow at a social club I attend as they are celebrating St Georges Day, so the songs need to be keeping in line with that theme. So any suggestions folks? And no I don't have a copy of Jerusalem! | |

Depends on the age of the audience really, anything from Vera Lynn to Ed Sheeren is passable.
We have and have had some of the best musicians/singers in the world over the years, so it shouldn't be that hard. Have fun :-) | |

Considering some songs from musical such as Oliver and My Fair Lady too, just downloaded the best of Gilbert and Sullivan in case suddenly we have some posh people turn up! | |

After checking out where you live OP, I reckon the Chas n Dave thing is a great idea, a bit of Knees Up Mother Brown, It's a Long Way to Tipperary....they do love a good knees up there if I remember rightly!
I actually wish I were coming now :-) | |

Posted: 4/21/2012 3:42:34 PM | | Has to be elgar but then again won't be celebrating it tomorrow as not the proper day ...if people think it's so special then do it on the correct day , after all would you celebrate Christmas a day early? | |

Posted: 4/21/2012 3:48:02 PM | | Well I appreciate its not the 23rd but I doubt we would get 30% of the people attend on a Monday, so we are going to celebrate a day early (I surprised no one has yet asked why we are celebrating a saint born in the Middle East) | |

My kids appreciate all music mostly the 70s and 80 s so hopefully the 16 s n up will enjoy the older music also .
Love gilbert o sullivans claire makes me all dreamy :P
I think anything you play will make a great night it can not all possibly be english too much hard work for a dj . 4/5 hours of english music LOL dear me some people must think you have nothing better to do than sit there looking for music not to mention organising the order in which it plays and downloading the disc it takes ages ..By the time you have found them it will be over People are there to celebrate the day /night not to think god thats not an english song ... Its about joining as one to celebrate our day the best way us brittish do best A pint and a wiggle round the dancefloor :)
Have fun :) | |

I doubt many people would be bothered why you are celebrating someone born in the middle east , after all its not unusual , people celebrate jesus all the time but yet he was born in the middle east .:)
So the story goes . | |
