I first made use of the song in the Theatre69' show called "Have you seen Manchester?". It was one of those "total theatre" kind of 60's show, lots of songs, lots of history and a plea for the regeneration of Manchester.Theatre69 turned into the Royal Exchange Company, and I've worked on lots of regeneration projects in Manchester since...it was my very first serious attempt to use folk music as a tool for cultural regeneration and identity reinforcing, a very interesting experiment. So I have a very soft spot for the song.
