Songs for Children I have been a Folk singer for over thirty years, mostly working with a band called Fiddlers Green and in the last number of months of 2005 I have decided to go solo as it is allowing me to sing the songs that many people want to hear including songs I have written myself. I have already sung in many schools and I have a programme of songs to suit different age groups, I usually sing two one hour concerts singing nursery rhymes to the children from Infants up to second class, and then with a different programme of songs entertain from third class to sixth class. The interaction with the children is what singing is all about and as I also play Guitar and have my own sound system, it does create a great atmosphere for all the children. It can be enjoyable for children and Teachers to listen and sing the wonderful songs that have been written and sung by singers like Burl Ives, Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger, The Clancy brothers & Tommy Makem and the Dubliners to name but a few. These songs were there for my childhood and they should be there for the children of today.
