If the OP follows that link, and clicks S, he'll find the words, but sadly not the music, of Martin Graebe's fine song "Shropshire Union".

In my early days as a singer, someone who was kind enough to think well of my singing lent me a tape of potential material, which I copied, so I have tape of a tape of him singing it at Sidmouth in 1974.

> I think it was Gary and Vera Aspey who had a song about a Bollinder Engine in a canal boat.

Yes, it was on Gary and Vera's "Nightshift Army", another LP I digitised last year. The song was called "The Rosemary", and is credited to P Dodds.
