SO JIM,MacColl Recorded an Armstrong song in 1957 and was happy they were described thus
"Unquestionably, North East England was the richest, most indisputably authentic home of industrial folksong and of coalmining ballads in particular. And Thomas Armstrong (1848-1919), 'the Tanfield Colliery poet', was its great hero"
considered them folk songs as did Lloyd in 1963 below
The Iron Muse (A Panorama of Industrial Folk Song) arranged by A. L. Lloyd is an thematic Industrial folk music album,.check mate again Jim.
are yOu trying to say that EWAN ANDBERT WERE WRONG AND YOU ARE RIGHT.
