  • Description

    The Hall family home was a singing house and here we have two generations of the family. Mabs learned many of her songs from her parents and her son Gordon was always intrigued by his mother’s ‘quaint old songs’. He realised how important they were and learned many himself. These are two fine traditional folk singers who together sing a remarkable selection of songs from Victorian children’s singing games to ancient ballads.
    Tracks: Come Write Me Down / Studying Economy / The Royal George / Old John Brown / A Fair Maid Walking In The Garden / My Old Wife’s A Good Old Creature / Ginny Jones / Poor Joe The Marine / Still I Love Him / Salonika / Ripest Apples / The Dumb Wife / We Won’t Go Home Until The Morning / Push The Business On / Sweet Lavender / The Outlandish Knight.
