Some very interesting material there, John. I was introduced to "Owdham Edge" and "Deep Lancashire" around 1972, my first year here in Lancashire. Used to hear more of this kind of material thru the seventies, much harder to find now (or maybe I'm not getting out enough!) I'm guessing the programmes are from then - any dates to the recordings? Can't recall hearing any local folk programmes till much later - BBC Radio Blackburn/Lancashire programme "The Drift" is the latest version of a series that has run for perhaps more than twenty years.

I look forward to hearing more - thanks for posting.
