By Hubert Gregg. By Hubert Gregg. Arranged by V.Firnberg. 20th Century,Folk,Historic,Singer/Songwriter,Traditional. Octavo. 6 pages. Virginia Firnberg #770612. Published by Virginia Firnberg (A0.1170258).This upbeat 3 part choir and piano classic about London (UK) was composed in 1944 by Hubert Gregg who was a pre-war broadcaster for the BBC. It begins imaginatively by setting the scene with street cries from a London market accompanied by the piano. What follows is a rousing unison rendition of the song, (perhaps the audience could join in?), then a solo trio, and, with the addition of a counter melody, the piece comes to a close. The song tells the story of someone who is taking a walk in London and is in love with the place. I worked with 'The Three Valleys Male Voice Choir' to come up with the street cries, as some of them had been market traders back in the day.
