Songs and Rhymes from Childhood

Doh ray me

Ewan McVicar has written the first comprehensive book regarding the lore, songs and rhymes of Scottish children, collected form the street and playground during the last 150 years. People are sure to remember many songs and other material collected here, and a good deal is in Scots. Mr McVicar is himself a song writer and singer and it is apparent that this work has been a labour of love. Mr McVicar will be at the Scottish Story Telling Centre, Edinburgh, from 7pm on Thursday 25 October, together with other singers: Scott Gardiner, Aileen Carr, Christine Kydd, Lucy Pringle and Mick West. Tickets cost �5. For more concerning this please enquire at the Centre: reception@scottishstorytellingcentre.com or tel: 0131 556 9579.
