I have not seen the new film yet but I did see Janet Russell last night and she did that song!

I presume you mean St Peter's Fields by Jim Woodland.

I heard the Oldham Tinkers sing Peterloo on Friday night. The late Harvey Kershaw MBE of dialect poetry renown penned this for the Oldham Tinkers. John Howarth added the tune. First published by Topic 1971 Oldham’s Burning Sands TOPIC TSDL206 STEREO.

From the Oldham Tinkers website. An Introduction to The Oldham Tinkers (Topic) now available, together with five LPs digitally remastered on CD.
