Kings of Swing: - all four pieces.

Sailing
Portrait of my Love
Red River Valley
Another Day
Hallelujah Chorus
Sunset poem
There's a Tavern in the Town
O Holy Night.
Vive L'Amour

Oh what a Beautiful Morning
The following items are likely to be the joint pieces during the
Brittany Trip:
Battle Hymn; Morte Criste; Bro gozh ma zadou, (this last piece will be sung in the Breton language).
Most languages are often said to be somewhat like another. Breton and Cornish are said to have a common root (thought you would like to know that, looks very like Polish to me).
