The broadside Up to the Rigs of London Town is a song from the repertoire of Harry Cox. E.J. Moeran collected it from him in 1924, and Peter Kennedy recorded him in his home in Catfield in October 1953.
Charlie Wills also sang Up to the Rigs of London Town, in The Sun, Powerstock, Dorset, in August 1956, recorded by Mervyn Plunkett. Another version, recorded by Bill Leader, was published in 1972 on the singer’s eponymous Leader album, Charlie Wills.
From Mainly Norfolk. Thank you, Reinhard.
