Songs & Ballads
This section of the website is being restructured
“The song lies restless entombed between the closed pages of the book waiting to be heard again, longing for that living voice to tell it’s story.”
The organising of songs into categories can be difficult to achieve with accuracy as the subject matter of many of the songs and ballads cross many boundaries. The categories on the buttons below are meant as a general guide and designed to ease navigation. The ‘Search Bar’ will allow for a more accurate word or phrase search. The Binneas Collection welcome submissions of songs from users and any information on the songs in the collection.
