Singing Together (radio)

Singing Together was a BBC Radio schools series which ran from 25 September 1939 to 29 March 2001, with repeats until 25 June 2004.^[1] Its origins were in Community Singing which was considered necessary at the outbreak of the Second World War following the mass evacuation of children.^[2]

Market-led changes in British broadcasting, the decline in airtime given to schools radio and increasing pressures on school time brought about by the National Curriculum were to put pressure on the series and would eventually lead to its demise.
