Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Lancashire folk songs
I thought most of John Tamms stuff (at least from Muckram Wakes days onwards) was centered on Derbyshire??

Also . . is the enquiry for traditional songs, or more recent material? A couple of nominations:

Four Loomed Weaver (Trad, I think!)

Poverty Knock (not trad, I think).

The children's song "Johnny Todd" (known to us ancients who can't count as the "Z-cars theme")

And I guess the Oldham Tinkers would be a good source.
