Mark Dowding | Lyr Req: Ballad of a Working Man (Alan Bell) (7) | Lyr Add: BALLAD OF A WORKING MAN (Alan Bell) | 15 May 06 |
"Ballad of a Working Man" was written in 1973 by Alan Bell for a BBC Radio 2 series called "Ballad of the Northwest" which went on to become a TV series for BBC Northwest viewers only with Harry Boardman as narrator. Of course none of the video tapes exist anymore although I have a dozen of them on audio cassettes where someone had stuck a microphone in front of the TV speaker to record them off air. Quality is awful but they're interesting to listen to. |
