Quite a few of Macoll's songs were about old-timers giving advice, (talk about Polonius!)or else telling younger generations about how things were in the old days . Travelling People, My Old Man , Shoals of Herring and Forty Foot Trailer come to mind.
Some relations of mine worked building the M6 ; only one is still around unfortunately   It's good to hear from Henry that they were remembered on the monument .
