Compiled in Newcastle to rescue local verse from oblivion, this anthology gathers songs and poems peculiar to Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland and Durham. Keelmen’s songs such as Weel May the Keel Row and Bonny Keel Laddie sit beside border ballads, election squibs and volunteer songs, many in broad Tyneside dialect.
A treasure for lovers of folk song and anyone with roots in the North East of England. Download the free EPUB.
