I live in Staffordshire and there's not too many old songs. Even the "Song of the Staffordshire Men"...has a cornish tune!! Phil and June Colclough come from North Staffordshire...but they write songs about Ireland. Don't "His Worship and the Pig" come from North Staffordshire?...(Jeff Parton knows a few Potteries songs) John Kirkpatrick has written for the New Victoria Theatre, "The Jolly Potters"...Actually, in the days of Peter Cheeseman, the Victoria Theatre had a regional identity with many documentary plays that had some traditional material..Regretably the New Vic is just now another theatre. Will watch this thread though as I'm interested to know as well. You could, if you are in the area, try the William Salt Library in Stafford where there may be stuff. Jon Raven wrote a book of Staffordshire Folklore with some songs but there are more Black Country songs (in the olden days, The Black Country WAS in Staffordshire!
