Songs
These songs were selected by festival volunteers and include suggestions from friends, fans, festival goers and the wide world of the internet.
They tried to include something for everyone (so not everybody will love everything and you may find it useful to head over to the internet to listen to
a song’s melody).
We’d like to thank our festival friends for these songs, especially Kris Ball, Clarice Wokes, and Jim Carey (from whose songbook most of these
came) as well as Daz Wright (who helped us scrape into the 21st century). They are produced here only as a study aid.
