Satge Manager: the convivial evening recordings you referred to are well worth a listen in their entirety. The recordings were made in 1953 in various pubs in north Cumberland, by Norman Alford and Robert Forrester, of themselves and friends singing old Cumbrian songs and tunes. They have reissued recently on a Veteran CD(I havent the details to hand I'm afraid...I've got copies of the originals on cassette so I havent bought the CD), but it's called "Pass the Jug Around". The reissue was arranged by Sue Allan, the intrepid collector of Cumbriana, by the way.
