Chigley Closing

PURELY PERSONAL

Favourite title tune   ?  The one that closed Camberwick.

A strangely languid little thing that I remember had an unusually calming effect on me,when I seemed to spend much of the time bouncing off the ceiling like most young kids.Must have been all those additives we were fed back then.

Least favourite tune   ?  The Band Concert

The one that suffered most from repeated listening was the band concert that ended each Trumpton episode imho. Maybe it's just me,but I found it a bit irritating after about 115 listens lol.

Admittedly no-one was forcing me to sit through it every time,but maybe I was just waiting for an onlooker to turn heckler and tell them to play something else. Strangely,it never happened.

Weakest opening   ?  Chigley

Can there really be any arguement with this one  ? It's a complete inspiration bypass, which some might say carried through into the whole series -a view I don't share......entirely.

It's redeemed slightly by a jaunty bit of organ music at the end though.

Of course I could be a tone deaf philistine,so don't take my word for any of that lot (as if you were going to)

Have a listen and make up your own mind.

Right click and "save target as".The file sizes aren't very large so shouldn't present too much of a problem if you're not a broadband user.They are a little on the quiet side though using my normal pc volume setting.So you may need to 'up' yours a bit too.And whilst they obviously load ok this end,if you find different plse let me know (email-site news page)

Just to say though that I am aware there's currently a problem with the Chigley Closing theme,which I need to sort and my apologies in the meantime.And if anyone wants to help out & send it in then plse do -might speed things up a bit !
