Festival of Singing, Redriff primary
Children singing and dancing at the annual 2 day festival of singing games at Redriff primary school in Rotherhithe. This was the 7th year that the festival had taken place. The children sang songs such as 'Poor Jenny is a Weeping' and 'The Big Ship Sales' and would then eat an organised picnic lunch before more singing in the afternoon. The festival was organised by Headmistress Mrs Mary Wilson and teacher Jennifer Gallagher. The festival led to a book and even an album of records on the Topic Records label.
