A Fine Brew 26 Jan 2008
By Eye Can
Format:Audio CD
Regional history overflowing in this entertaining album.
I have an original on viynal vinal how the ek do you spell that?
Have just resd E. Gaskells " Mary Barton" and have watched the superb
"North and South" on DVD, so these Lancashire folk songs make a fine brew to drink a little of the atmosphere.
Good mix of politics and humour
Great stuff.

This album deserves at least one more review, and a 5-star one at that. Doubling up the original Deep Lancashire with its sequel, Owdham Edge, this is a fantastic-value snapshot of the real-life urban folk music of 1960s Lancashire. Warmly sentimental on the one hand, wryly comic on the other, it's a tradition which hasn't entirely disappeared - though it's perhaps less in evidence nowadays.

Launching the careers of Mike Harding and the Oldham Tinkers, these records were apparently Topic's biggest sellers in their day. I've known them for many years, and I think what I love most about them is a kind of contented peace at their heart - ironic, considering the brutally hard lives which are the main subject of the songs.

One small complaint: in deciding which of the original tracks to include, how on earth could the cacophonic warbling of Nobbut a Cockstride Away have been preferred to the brilliant Bard's Reformation?

Excellent CD 6 May 2012

Good quality CD. It takes me back to my youth in the 60s. The tracks reflect industrial Lancashire and is a mix of humour and sentiment. It contains many of my favourite singers from the late 60s.
