Thanks very much for your song suggestions. I think The Green Green Grass of Home is perfect. I'll change the opening line to "the old Welsh town". For Scotland, I may try Donald Where's Your Troosers or something from Brigadoon. Or I may omit Scotland; I can't include every foreign land in my programme.

Paul, "The Heather on the Hill" from Brigadoon would be good---plus it ties in with "The Green Green Grass of Home ".

Donald Where's Your Troosers never even crossed my mind as it sounded like you wanted something more modern!
Drop Scotland Paul and you're in deep doo-doo!!!! :lol:
