Mark Dowding History of Cotton in song (27) RE: History of Cotton in song 30 Sep 08


Well...
The Handloom Weaver's Lament
The Merry Little Doffer
The Bury New Loom (very double entendre - how old is she?)
A Weaver's Song
Hard Times
Billy Suet's Song
Shurat Weaver's Song
Our Factory School
Peterloo/With Henry Hunt we'll go
The Spinner's Lamentation
John o' Grinfilt jr (better than The Four Loom Weaver)
The Little Piecer
First Day at t' Mill
Success to the Weavers
A Piecer's Tale
Manchester's Improving Daily
Johnny Green's Trip from Owdham to see the Manchester Railway
Poor Little Hauve Timer
Spinning Shoddy
The Cotton Lords of Preston
Short Time Come Again No More
Along the Rossendale
Sewing Class Song

There are probably a few more that I can't remember at this time of night.
If it's any help I can send you a copy of the script of "The Lancashire Cotton Famine" and also a draft of "Singing Histories - The Lancashire Cotton Industry" that was performed by myself and a couple of others at Ryland's Library in Manchester in August.
PM me with your email address please Menolly.

I presume it's a school project. Where is she based - presumably Lancashire but could be anywhere of course. Is it primary/junior school or secondary school?

Cheers
Mark
