MUSIC QUIZ WITH VELDA

Velda
Velda is a legend! She is one of the heart

and soul’s from Hackney Wick and has kindly agreed to bring her very own produce to the ‘Wick Curiosity Shop’…HER VOICE!

From spending time with Velda it is clear she likes a party and sing a long when she was invited to sing at Wick Curiosity Shop it was not too hard to persuade her!

She will sing a couple of old timer classics that are close to her heart, music she listened to as young lass out and about in the Wick.

Velda will introduce the music quiz with a tune.

Coconuts

I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts… Down at an english fair one evening I was there When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts There they are all standing in a row Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head Give them a twist a flick of the wrist That’s what the showman said I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts Every ball you throw will make me rich There stands my wife, the idol of me life Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
