Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Benefit Concert
Is Albert Shaw the man who sang the Black Country version of 'Matty Groves'? 'It was Easter time in Dudley town/A time to sing and shout/The folk all gathered in the Two Bulls' Yeds/To push the jug about'
If it is him, I remember him! It's been donkey's years since I saw him. He's in one of John Crane's illustrations to Bill Caddick's 'Vale' songbook. If I ever get Alzheimer's, it'll be years before anyone notices.
If you have that or any other songs of his, pleeeeze post 'em!
