Hi Raggy - haven't heard from/seen you for a bit.
The band currently on with their second album and we have the following song in line for it.
Strangely enough, after performing it over at the Grosvenor, Robin Hood's Bay, a chap local to the area being talked about in the song came up to me and chastised me for calling it Hightown - told me the locals say 'Ee'town. That right? It's from your neck of the woods innit?
Anyway, as you can guess, we 'rock it up' a bit already - but if'n y' wanna PM an email address (yer mate's or yours) I'll send youse an mp3 of a live take of the song if ya like.
OK? see ya somewhere e'er long - cheers - Duncan

PS a wierd turn up.... since writing this, got booked to play (solo) at The Star, Roberttown early next year - spooky!

Rawfold's Mill (D.McFarlane)

Times were hard and desperate, new machines installed
And loss of work and poverty were all their future held
One secret night in Hightown Spen Valley men did swear
To smash the water-powered devils there
In Rawfold's Mill

They heard of new deliveries, the transport wagons came
They ambushed them at Hartshead – wreaked havoc on the frames
And spurred on by victory, another aim in sight
Their mind was set, all out attack by night
On Rawfold's Mill

The mob charged at the mill now – where once they'd been employed
Hurled stones into the windows – and fired through the void
They overcame the sentries – and tried to break the door
But withering musket volleys – put two men to the floor
At Rawfold's Mill

They dragged the wounded to an alehouse - and pulled them both inside
There in the Star at Roberttown – first Hartley, then Booth, died
So Cartwright, he gave evidence – his battle being won
And William Hall and sixteen more – were tried and they were hung
For Rawfold's Mill
