G'day,

Yorkshire Tony's recent request for a tune for Colin Dryden's The Factory Lad got me thinking of other well-crafted songs of the factory genre ... and a song I remember Mike Harding singing on a radio program I heard decades back: July Wakes - a 19th c. Lancashire song about two lads spending their one week holiday - "the Cotton Holidays" climbing Pendle Cheek.

I can't see it in the DT ... does any one have the words (and tune ... )? I could try to get them down from a rather tired old cassette ... but my ancestral Lancashire accent can't pick up a lot of the lyrics!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
