The Rambling Songs Competition
Rambling and singing are a natural combination. There are over 100 rambling songs on the iTunes Music Store. For the 2008/9 season, I thought it would be amusing to listen to some of them as we ramble and to pick an official QNHG rambling song.
Here’s how it will work. For each ramble, the QNHG Rambling Song Subcommittee will select two songs which we will listen to while we are waiting for people to arrive at the muster point. At the end of the year, everyone who has been on a ramble will be asked to vote for their favorite song.
Here is the list of songs in competition so far (links are to the iTunes Music Store):
