The Young'Uns Concert was absolutely wonderful. Brian came along and I'm really glad, as the song is all about Snape village — so in essence the village has its own song. I'm not sure people have actually realised what the words are saying, but it's written about the Snape village sign.
I have links here to the videos of the Young'Uns and the children singing the Snape song, 'Longboat Journey Through Time' — and a funny one of them singing a silly song called 'Whose Pigs are These?', which is great fun.
Best wishes, Sarah
Snape Song — Longboat Journey Through time
We'll sing you the story of Snape.
See the watchful curlew climb,
See Saxons, soldiers, suffragettes
On our longboat journey through time.
Benedictine monks with robes as black as night,
Hear the bells ringing, psalms they're singing
Scribing holy words by flickering candlelight
On our longboat journey through time.
We'll sing …
See our school being opened in 1905.
Garrett sisters speak, women are not weak,
The Suffragette movement is truly alive,
On our longboat journey through time.
We'll sing …
See brave, lost soldiers like Joseph Lee
In the First World War, the horror they saw
A tragic moment of our history
On our longboat journey through time.
We'll sing …
And now we're back in Snape today,
With the river Alde flowing, the tractors towing.
Many years we've been away
On our longboat journey through time.
Time travel is a thirsty game,
To The Golden Key, The Crown and The Plough & Sail
To the pubs of Snape our final aim,
On our longboat journey through time.
We'll sing …
Whose Pigs are These?
Whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs are these?
They are John Potts',
You can tell them by the spots
And I found them in the vicarage garden.

The Young'Uns Community Concert is at 2:00pm on Saturday 5th at Britten Pears, Snape Maltings. FREE short concert with lots of community singing and definitely entertainment from Sean, David and Michael. We are looking forward to hearing our Snape school song sung by our favourite Folk Band the Young'Uns.
If you would like to hear it too, please come along at 2:00pm. They are hosting a singing weekend, and will be teaching their singers the Snape song they wrote with the children last year in the morning. They will then perform the song to the children in the afternoon, with the children joining in. They also suggested they sing a few, the community sing a few and the children sing a few — so it will definitely be a joyous afternoon for SNAPE. SEE YOU THERE!
