Bagpuss at Playsongs

Just a step away from Playsongs lies the wonderful world of Bagpuss, voted the most-loved children's tv series of all time. The bridge between Bagpuss and Playsongs is Sandra Kerr, the brilliant musician behind Bagpuss, and key contributor to the music of Playsongs since its very beginning.

There were thirteen Bagpuss episodes in total, and we've created a printable download for each one. They provide you with the musical notation, the lyrics and guitar chords for all the songs in the episode, along with singing and sound-making suggestions to try at home or in school if you're an educator.

Sandra says...
Together with John Faulkner,  I created the sounds, music and songs, which helped Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin make the Bagpuss series ~ voted the best children's TV programme of all time.

Thanks to so many people's requests, I've  brought all that musical magic together here for everyone to access  and join in ~ with voices, instruments, sound-makers, hands and feet.
