I'm going to perform Mowing Match in a couple of weeks, and I think there may be some recording equipment present, so hopefully there will be something for you all to listen to. I'm going to piece together the Becket verses with the Wrigley verses. You implied you might have faced a lynch mob, Jim, had you deviated from the version you had. Does this mean there were people who actually knew it well? Where are they from? Are they still about? I'm hoping to meet a chap called Ron Williams soon, and I'm hoping too that he can shed light on it, he's from Saddleworth. By the way, did you get my email, Jim? I can't pm you because I'm a guest.
