Jackie & Bridie were a Liverpool duo contempory to The Spinners (IIRC performing at the same club originally).

Can't remember their surnames but I do have a songbook back in Manchester, (where I'm not), which may even have this song in it. Can't remember the words either but it has been 30+ years.

The song is about forced house moves following the 1960's slum clearance schemes which affected both Liverpool and Manchester very heavily. `Skem', (Skelmersdale), being to Liverpool what Hattersley was to Manchester.
