Thread Name: Help-Early Dickensian Songs (1807-70)
Subject: RE: Help-Early Dickensian Songs (1807-70)
'A Ballad History of England' has 27 songs for this period, including 'Ten Per Cent', a song linked in the article to Charles Dickens at Coketown. 'A Touch on the Times' covers the period 1770-1914, and only some of the songs can be dated, but there's a lot there. Roy Palmer's 'The Rambling Soldier' covers much the same period, and Roy Harris recorded twelve on an LP of the same name. Another LP, 'Songs and Music of the Redcoats', has seven songs from the Napoleonic Wars. I have all of these, and if you want further information it's probably better to get in touch direct.
