What are songs you liked as a child that primarily came from your parents? My Dad was Welsh mum was cockney, neither could sing that well but Dad could sing significantly better than her. He joined the Edinburgh Gaelic Choir so I was brought up on a mixture of folk, Scottish folk and Gaelic songs.

Been digging out some songs from the farthest corner of my head these songs I enjoyed while growing up and finding them on Spotify

These include,

Coisich A Ruin - Capercaillie

Streets of London - Ralph McTell

Lord of The Dance - Dubliners (or whoever) I never realised until now it’s a contemporary worship song.

What song/s take you back to your childhood

My Mum liked ABBA and Boney M etc so I can remember lots of 70s Disco, and still like I’m that now, I even have a 70s Disco playlist on Spotify

Glen Campbell rhinestone cowboy

Rod Stewart Maggie may

The shadows apache

Del Shannon runaway

My mum has a collection of CDs calked Hello Children Everywhere, which are basically songs played during the war on the wireless. Odd considering she was born in the 50s. So I grew up listening to classics like Never do a tango with an Eskimo, I'm a gnu, and The laughing policeman.

Also film music as my parents are film buffs. So I know a lot of soundtracks. Oh, and Kirsty MacColl.

Bit of an odd mix really

Mine is an artist which is totally different to any of my musical tastes and that is Mario Lanza. It seems like a family tradition at this point because my dad got his like for him off his mom who adored him

The Moody Blues ones are albums but you can find all on YouTube.

If you listen to one, make it the Hollies. Is their psychedelic period and is a beauty.

There was a huge variety of music in our house, but Wild Rover was often played, as were a selection by Georges Brassens.

Mind you, Quo and T-Rex were popular too

My parents loved The Carpenters. I still have a soft spot for them and often turn to their music for comfort.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

My parents taste was a bit odd, but we crossed over at Elvis and Buddy Holly.
