Every half term, we used to stay with my Granny in Brigg. And Brigg Fair cropped up four times! Ruairidh Greig talked about Joseph Taylor and the White Hare was mentioned in Nancy Kerr's song;

Though the end of time is long before us
We are hunted like the Oldham Hare
Let us sing like it's the fifth of August
And our love is way beyond the fair

Fol the day-O, love is sweet-O
Seeds are blooming underneath our feet-O
From the fields through city streets-O
Like a Joseph Taylor melody
