Funny you should mention it, I was listening to Vera Aspey's "The Blackbird" album only yesterday. She wrote an excellent song called Coal Black Faces, but elsewhere there's pretty disposable stuff like the music hall Maypole Inn. And that Highwayman song takes a bit of wading through

It's a shame that Harry Boardman's recorded output was slight, as he was plainly sitting on a wealth of knowledge. I mean to check out Trans Pennine very soon, as Dave Hillery's always worth hearing
