A singer called Pete Smith contributes two of the finest tracks to the classic 1968 Topic LP compilation 'Deep Lancashire' - 'Beg Your Leave', a version of the Heysham Pace Egging song; https://youtu.be/mP_7SvPICkQ?si=Q7ZHZsikkGiVgOoo ...And 'Ten Per Cent', and industrial ballad written by Mary Thomasen from Leigh, nr Wigan, in 1938: https://youtu.be/IpyJ2TjlLNE?si=JN43ycntSiYrYuXL As far as I can tell, Pete Smith never recorded anything else - but does anyone know anything about him? Which part of Lancashire is/was he from? Was he active on the sessions and festivals scene? Is he still about? Many thanks for any and all intel!
