I composed this song in 1986 about the tragedy of homelessness. Our choir sang it as part of a whole school project on homelessness. Lessons and assemblies and sponsorship for St Basil’s charity in Birmingham. Staff and older pupils slept out by the cathedral. It could be used for assembly or in the classroom. Your school choir might sing it. 3 verses and a catchy chorus. 4 files - lyrics, sheet music,backing track(mp3) and song (mp3)

These 2 original blues songs are easily performed in group or full class performance. The lyrics are suitable for KS3. They work on keyboards, drums, guitars, bass guitar and other melody instruments. The music lends itself to performing at different levels - perhaps with the riffs - for differentiation. Suitable as a starter for improvisation. Solos for pupils after individual and small group practice. They are appropriate for insertion into a broader scheme of work on the Blues. I recorded my class performances for later evaluation by the pupils. They are available as PDF (or MS Publisher files to enable changing the year group and school name if desired.)
