Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pub Crawl / Doin' the Manch (Marsden)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Pub Crawl as sung by Ron Akehurst

Sounds like 'Doing the Manch' - Keith Marsdens song about The Manchester Road , from the centre of Bradford to Hodstow(?) Top .
As performed by Cockersdale , and in the book of Keith's songs -
'Picking Sooty Blackberries'. I believe Keith wrote the song in response to a challenhe to mention EVERY pub on the road .
