Subject: RE: Origins: Songs from the Luddite Period
I should add the 'General Ludd's Triumph' describes the general as "the hero of Nottinghamshire", and the broadside turned up in Nottingham itself, so right up Hazel's street I should think. 'Working Songs' also includes words and music for the Nottingham broadside 'The Tear of Pity' apparently written by a framework knitter from Sutton.
