Ian and Reinhard thank you for your hard work and results in identifying and transcribing yet another ‘canal’ song and a great one at that. It’s funny - the song as performed by Harry Boardman on a ‘lost’ BBC Radio documentary has been known about since 1969 when the programme was recorded. But it was not realised what a gem it was until just recently when a newspaper cutting from that time was discovered on Facebook. The cutting and radio programme was celebrating the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal on 1894.
