CHESHIRE LIFE song: an anthem for Cheshire.

A new song to celebrate Cheshire: it is catchy, tuneful, easy to sing-a-long, jaunty, interesting and fun.

It could be done in most styles.

You singers should get singing it - and tell everybody about our lovely county.

Yes, it is also the name of a magazine!

----------------------------------------------------

The Cheshire Life song is the latest from Tony Sullivan - banjo champion, recording artist, and author. Known world-wide,

"Sully" is an "All Ireland" champion; publisher of a definitive collection of albums & tutors; composer of many Irish tunes; banjo specialist and maker.

He plays gigs all over Cheshire with husky voiced singer/guitarist Clare Allen from Knutsford. She performs her own contemporary folk/soft rock songs

- and backs Sully's banjo with her phenomenal guitar playing. Sully plays tenor and 5-string banjo, mouth organ, whistle and Irish bouzouki.

They have a rich repertoire of music styles – Irish tunes and songs, English folk, American folk, and Clare's contemporary songs.

Sully also plays Dixieland, old sing-long and George Formby.

Words of song:

Cheshire Life

  1. Driving up the old "M" six, to Junction Seventeen, you'll

    2. come to Cheshire's rolling land of hills and fields so green.

     

    Chorus:

    Life in Cheshire, Cheshire life!

    Hear all about it, Cheshire Life!

     

     

  2. Chester is the county town, with Roman ruins old,

    3. Birkenhead and The Mersey, a fine sight to behold.

     

  3. The,

    4. salt mines of Northwich, the railways of Crewe, from the

    top of Beeston Castle, there is lovely view.

     

  4. De-

    5. -licious new potatoes, and grinning Cheshire cats, To-

    -matoes are from Poynton, tasty cheese and that's...

     

  5. There's,

    6. lots of money here about - I wish that I had some, in

    Hale and Sale and Mobberley, and down in Congleton.

     

  6. There're

    7. building houses everywhere, rampant urban sprawl,

    traffic it is "choc-a-block", it's right down to a crawl.

     

  7. There's a,

telescope in Jodrell, for listening to the stars,

in the town of Macclesfield are sixty pubs and bars.
