Although ' I do like to be beside the seaside 'is admittedly the supreme lassie of seaside hymnology, it is only the first among a multitude of songs of the beach. As Willson Disher shows in his article on page 15, the seaside has always been a potent source of inspiration to song-writers, and we know (from 1066 and All That) that even King Canute and his courtiers sang as they got their feet wet. But this evening's programme will not go so far into the past as that.
