Simply wonderful...takes me back to my childhood! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Delightfully lively and fun Thanks all you lovely singers .
Glad you enjoyed it
All these songs were a part of my life growing up in the late 1940s and early 50s. No smut, no F word to get a laugh, just good people who knew how to make their own jolly entertainment. I miss it. Thank you for this video post.
By Pure Accident, I stumbled On This Happiest Of Sing-Along Videos's, Great Old Songs Sung With Gusto By A Fabulous Piano Player And His Delightful And Enthusiast Chorus!
I simply love your work. I am an EFL teacher in Chile and this music is all new to me and I just want to share it with my students. Big hug and all my respect from Buin, Chile.
Reminds me a posher version of the Goose & Firkin SE1 in about 1981. As far as I remember, it had a lot of beer, no furniture, a piano and spit and sawdust on the floor. Happy days
Wow the Goose and firkin that just brought back some memories. I use to drink in there all the time in the 80`s. There use to be a lot of Firkin pubs, i remember people use to try to get around them all, having a pint in each one.
Superb
Really loved this. I remember all these songs from when I was young (59 now) and my Nan singing them. She was a true Londoner and played the piano. I still know all the words without any prompts. Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻
Me too. I'm much older than you, but my Nan, Mum and Dad sung all these songs and I know all the words too although I would have been a child at the time, the words have remained in my memory. It’s brilliant and such fun.
What lovely lyrics to ~The Sun has got it's hat on~ well okay the new ones are lolz
Brill rendition of all the songs, I had not heard the Cucumber song :-))
wonderful
Great company...oooOoohhh...Hurray!!!
Wow!!! You are amazing!!!!! I want to be apart of this
fantastic
Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
So Charming!!!!!!
What a beautiful culture the Cockley were. Shame on our government for destroying such a cultured people.
Absolutely. I've been involved in the Modern Cockney Festival who are doing great work in raising awareness of Cockney Culture: growsocialcapital.org.uk/campaigns/cockney-conversations/
We’re still here. Not many of us but still exist.
Marvelous!!. ❤😁
I just noticed something you did in this particular performance that the Iroquois singers do whenever everyone is having a good time, which is your playing gets faster with every song. I just found that so interesting. I have to respect your efforts on preserving your people's culture and presenting it in a way that hopefully brings the youth in and gets them involved.
Well spotted, though I have to say it wasn't intentional. To be honest, listening back to this album the whole thing is too fast. But that's hindsight for you.
This is a hoot!!!
I have seen you perform and chatted to u after, great to see u popping up on here
Saw you at Castlemas in Tonbridge and didnt really pay attention but your routine stuck in my head to the point i had to google you and found your channel, wonderful act !
There is far more character and entertainment in these old songs that in the moronic whining of modern pop stars and their guitars.
'she'll be drinking at the bull 'n gate when she comes' ???
😂
Was the Hokey Pokey normal in England? In America, we don't sing it like that.
The Hokey Cokey was sung as I learnt it back in the 1970's and has been sung like that for at least 5 decades before that in exactly the same way.
Looks a bit like Freddie Mercury.
Do wot, John?

Not a cockney in sight
Patrick, you're right! Not a cockney in sight. I've never professed to be a cockney - born and raised in Coventry (as I mention in my shows). But I've been studying the art of the cockney pub pianist / Victorian Music Hall material for 15 years now. It's a dying art. Only a couple of the old boys and girls still doing it. Trying to keep these songs alive, and playing in the East End pub piano style.
No matter how hard someone works, there is always some loser who has never done anything in his life ready to throw dirt to your work.
Are there any French revolutionaries in Les Misérables
Patrick Martin But the Cockney spirit is there, they got it...why D'You want a bunch of Cockneys that don't...I could bet You can't play piano, sing neither
Carradine's Cockney Sing-a-long I enjoy and appreciate your effort, but it lacks the genuine feel of the East End I grew up in all those years ago. Lots of well meaning and well dressed, middle class folk who probably do not understand the poverty which influenced many of these performers and the origins of the songs. But that’s ok, because the East End has been taken over by this metropolitan elite, so maybe this is reflective of the hipster culture and million pound penthouses that this part of London now harbours.
