Joe - One of the most prolific of the Newcastle songwriters.

Here are a couple of biographical entries about Joe Wilson:

Joe Wilson - Northumbria U

The Bards of Newcastls

If you select Joe Wilson from the drop down at FARNE - Person Search (I think you need to accept their cookie) you'll find 116 records of his songs.

ASFAIR Lloyd's Folk Song In England has a section on Joe Wilson too.

I seem to recall that there was a substantial book of Joe Wilson songs published a long time ago, sadly not one I have.

Alex Glasgow's Joe Lives (I do have the record of this) had the wonderful John Woodvine taking the part of Joe Wilson.
