Hello Cheyne Gang
This week we have something special for you. Last week, Anne met Kathy, Julie and Clare and filmed them* demonstrating several breathing exercises and songs that will be posted over the next few weeks to keep The Cheyne Gang singing at home!
We also have a selection of Scottish songs of welcome performed by Kathy in her porch, and Anne has selected a couple of her favourite songs for you to enjoy at home.
* please note - the songs and exercises were filmed in a well ventilated greenhouse and our voice coaches adhered to social distancing at all times.
Feel the Fill

Follow, Follow, Follow
A nice natural voice round that Clare has taught to Julie & Kathy.
Scottish Songs of Welcome
Kathy performs 3 songs on her front porch for you. You can find the lyrics below to sing along at home!
Come in, Come in - by Andy Stewart (of Donald Where’s Your Troosers fame)
Chorus:
Come in , come in, it’s nice to see ya, how’s yoursel’ - you’re lookin’ grand!
Tak a seat lets hae a blether – Friend you’re welcome, Take my hand!
You Can Come and See the Baby - by Glasgow’s Will Fyffe
You can come to see the baby any time you come to call
He’s lyin’ wi’ his mammy in a wee white shawl
He looks so neat and swanky like a dumplin’ in a hanky
And we’re gonna call him William Angus Jaimeson Jock McColl!
Come Away In - by Karine Polwart
Welcome into the house
Where we have bread to eat, and room at the table
Welcome into the house
Where we sit down to meet with stranger and neighbour
Welcome into the house!
Chorus:
Come away, come away in
Come away, come away in
The storm it is rising but we’ll hold back the wind
Come away, come away in!
Finally, our lovely camera operator, Anne has chosen a few of her favourite songs for you to enjoy at home!
