The best suggestion I've got is to get hold of a copy of the TOPIC CD Deep Lancashire TSCD 485
Subtitled Songs Ballads & Verse from the Industrial North West of England.

Artists include, The Oldham Tinkers, Harry Boardman, Bernard Wrigley, Mike Harding, with the great Harvey Kershaw performing his dialect works.

Songs to consider (I've not checked against the DT for these, The Bury New Loom, The Hand Loom Weaver's Lament, Toddlin' Wom, July Wakes, King Cotton Droylseden Wakes, Frolicsome Kate, Sammy Shuttleworth.
