Callerou (with harmony parts)

Callerou are oysters. The song is based in Edinburgh, on the Forth Estuary and tells of the lives of the fishing men and women.

This song is sung by Christine Kydd and the recording includes both the solo song and two harmony parts so is really useful for group work as well as a solo song.

Caller means fresh, so the song is based around the street cry of the oyster lass - "Fresh Oysters"! or "Caller Ou". A lovely singer called Fiona Ross sang this with a group called Hansel. "I just had to learn it"
