Steve Gardham	Ideas for regional folksong book (7)	RE: Ideas for regional folksong book	15 Apr 18
This can be fraught with difficulty. The vast majority of English songs can be found all over England and indeed further afield. If you're not bothered whether they are traditional or not then local archives might be useful. The Lincolnshire Poacher was also The Northamptonshire Poacher. The Keel Row is also strongly claimed by Edinburgh. The earliest versions of The Derby Ram actually mention Durham and Diram. Many regions already have long-established song books (Tyneside for instance) and other regions have put their songs online (Yorkshire). Are you looking for old songs, new songs, both?
