Hello, and welcome to Lullaby Chair.
I'm Valerie, and I'll be keeping you company over the next year during those last moments between waking and sleep. Each week, I'll tell you a little about a lullaby or just a gentle folk song that I find calming, and then I will sing it to you. We'll hear songs in different languages and from different parts of the world, people and faiths.
Perhaps you're a small person, trying to sleep in a dark room. Or perhaps you're a larger person leaning back in your chair at work, just taking a little break. Or you might be a medium-sized person lying on the sofa with a headache, wishing someone would put a cool cloth on your forehead.
I'll sit beside you for a few minutes each week and hold your hand, stroke your head or rub your back and sing you a small song that I hope will bring you a few minutes of peace. So just close your eyes, and we'll begin.
