Songs For The Young At Heart
Were you a child of the Sixties? Do you remember the tale of The Lion and Albert - the little boy who went to the zoo with his parents but was chomped up by a lion?
Songs For The Young At Heart is a fantastic way for you to revisit your childhood memories - and to share them with your kids!
Brought to you by Dave Boulter and Stuart Staples of the Tindersticks and inspired by memories from their childhood of music from the radio, schoolroom and television, Songs For The Young At Heart features the sunny, simple, dark and sad songs from the halcyon days of school holidays and endless summer afternoons.
Featuring a selection of guest vocalists and storytellers, the album includes the likes of Cerys Matthews (formerly of Catatonia) singing White Horses, and 'Bonnie' Prince Billy's melancholic version of Puff The Magic Dragon.
We particularly love Jarvis Cocker telling the tale of The Lion and Albert, taking you back to the days of Jackanory - watch the video here.
Songs For The Young At Heart is for everyone, whether young, old or especially just young at heart.
Do you remember any of this little lot? Perhaps a whole new generation of children can be introduced to Mary, Mungo & Midge!
