SONGS

I am in the process of identifying all known songs sung by Vesta and am starting to list them here. Where conflicting titles have been located, I have added all versions. These can be corrected in time. This very much work in progress so please bear with me and if you would like to add others or suggest revisions to correct obvious errors, etc., please get in contact. I would like to pay special thanks to various members of the British Music Hall Society and others for helping me.
