Children's Favourites on Vic Morgan's Late Show
The Singing Archaeologist
In recent months, Win Scutt has been donning his cape as "The Singing Archaeologist" on The Late Show on BBC Radio Devon, BBC Radio Cornwall and BBC in the Channel Islands. He's been supported since November by the wonderful "Out to Grass", six experienced musicians who have a growing reputation as an innovative bluegrass-style band in Britain. You can find them on MySpace.
Their revival of fondly remembered children's songs from BBC Radio programmes, Children's Favourites and Family Favourites has proved so popular with listeners that they have produced a CD of five songs all performed in their distinctive style.
- The Mole Song (Dick Wolf, Randy Starr - pseudonym of Warren Nadel, Charles Andre 1958)
- Messing About on the River (Tony Hatch & Les Reed)
- The Runaway Train (Lyric: Robert E. Massey Music: Harry Warren & Carson Robison Year: 1925)
- Teddy Bears Picnic (John Walter Bratton 1907 and Jimmy Kennedy, 1932)
- Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf (Frank Churchill & Ann Ronell 1933)
