Re: Martin Shaw songs
I was a member of the London Boys Choir, soon renamed the North London Boys Choir, in about 1951-3 when I was 8 to 10. It was formed and led by a fine woman, Miss John. It rehearsed at King Alfred School next to the Hampstead Garden Suburb, until it moved to Piccadilly. We sang varied songs including "Full Fathom Five" out of Shakespeare and "The Bells" out of Poe. But we all agreed our favorite was "Glad Hearts Adventuring." It was cheerful and fun to sing. We did a tryout of our songs at the BBC on my 10th birthday, but we remained a local group. My family moved to Massachusetts in 1956, but I like thinking of that choir and the boys in it. I wonder what became of it.
