A worked example
Meet Pauline, our example Nan
Pauline isn't real, but many Nan's share her spirit. This shows the kind of detail families send us, and how we turn it into a song.
Pauline
Turns 70. Handbag of miracles, canteen queen, bingo legend.
- Handbag holds plasters, mints, spare buttons and a screwdriver
- A 'little something' for anyone who's crying
- Ran the school canteen for decades, still cooks for two hundred
- Bingo on Thursdays is sacred: no calls allowed
What her family told us
Nan turns 70. Her handbag contains solutions to every crisis: plasters, mints, spare buttons, a screwdriver, and 'a little something' for whoever's crying. Ran the school canteen for decades and still cooks like she's feeding two hundred. Bingo on Thursdays is sacred. Do not phone her on a Thursday.
The sort of thing a grandchild might send us

Verse 1
Seventy years and she's still got that bagZipped up tight like a treasure sackPlasters and mints and a screwdriver tooA spare button waiting in case you need one toAnd somewhere down in the lining, packed with careThere's a little something for whoever's crying there
Chorus
That's our Pauline, ready for anythingSteady as Sunday, she'll fix what life bringsSeventy candles, but she won't slow downThe heart of this family, the queen of this townHappy birthday Pauline, our feet upon the ground
Verse 2
She ran that canteen for years and yearsFeeding half the village, wiping away the tearsAnd she's still cooking like there's two hundred to feedEven when it's just us, that's all she'll needSecond helpings whether you want them or notLove poured out of every pan she's got
Chorus
That's our Pauline, ready for anythingSteady as Sunday, she'll fix what life bringsSeventy candles, but she won't slow downThe heart of this family, the queen of this townHappy birthday Pauline, our feet upon the ground
Bridge
But don't you dare ring her up on a ThursdayThat's her time, so keep awayBingo's sacred, the numbers, the hallNan's got a life outside us allAnd we love her more for holding her groundSome things in this world stay safe and sound
Verse 3
So here's to the woman with a fix for it allA plaster, a mint, a hand when you fallSeventy years of holding us nearStill the first one running when trouble is hereWe just want to say, before the candles burn outThank you Pauline, that's what today's about
Chorus
That's our Pauline, ready for anythingSteady as Sunday, she'll fix what life bringsSeventy candles, but she won't slow downThe heart of this family, the queen of this townHappy birthday Pauline, our feet upon the ground
Outro
Happy birthday PaulineThe best that we've ever knownJust don't ring her ThursdayShe won't answer the phone

What to put in a 70th birthday song for Nan
Just send us the little things that make her unique: the details we can turn into verses.
The magic handbag
Every item she carries: plasters, mints, spare buttons, a screwdriver: can become a lyric.
Canteen memories
The endless trays, the smells of Sunday roast, the way she fed a whole school.
Bingo rituals
Her Thursday bingo triumphs, the numbers she calls, the rule 'no calls on Thursday'.
A comforting secret
That 'little something' she offers when someone cries: the heart of her kindness.
Styles that suit a 70th birthday
Choose a sound that matches Nan's personality, or let us surprise you.
Acoustic folk
Warm guitars and gentle vocals echo the cosy feel of a school canteen and a bingo hall.
Classic pop
A nod to the music of her teenage years, bright and uplifting.
Soulful ballad
If you want the emotion of her caring heart to shine through each line.
The moment it's for
Picture the celebration when it plays
Imagine the room as the song starts: her eyes, the laughter, the tears.
The surprised grin
She hears her name in the first line and her smile widens wider than her handbag.
The quiet hush
Everyone pauses, the bingo cards set aside, as the chorus sings her story.
The repeat performance
Nan hums the melody all evening, promising to sing it at the next Thursday bingo.
A taste of her teenage years
When Pauline was a teenager in the early 1970s, the air was thick with the sound of The Beatles' later albums and the soulful strum of folk singers on the radio. Colourful posters of The Who and Dusty Springfield lined bedroom walls, while evenings were spent watching "The Goodies" and the inaugural episodes of "Doctor Who" in crisp, boxy sets. The scent of fresh bread from the local bakery mingled with the rumble of double-decker buses, and a new pair of platform shoes felt like stepping into a future of possibilities.
