Schools Music MP3s

Here is a selection of BBC and ITV schools interlude music. Most are from my personal collection, but one or two have been downloaded from the Internet. I don't know who the downloaded files originally came from, as they were converted from RealAudio to MP3 a while ago, losing the file information in the process. If you recognise any of these as being yours, please let me know.

If you can put names to any of these, or can supply me with longer versions, please let me know.

If you have more of the same that you'd like to donate, I'd be happy to host them for you!

Thanks to Simon Luxton and Simon McLean for help with the titles of the music!
