Sources for Newcastle Music-
The evolution of
this project.
Originally these pages were
composed to reflect the discography of the Whisky
Priests (a musical group
from Durham). As time went on the scope expanded to
favorite Newcastle
songs. The first step was to include all of the songs of
Joseph Cawhall's
book of 1888. This done we will turn to John Stoke's
Northumbrian Minstrelsy
and then to the collection of John Bell. We have
completed work with
bell and have turned our
attention to the chapbooks of Fordyce and Allan's great
volume. As with
any collection selection is at times difficult. The
tradition is composed
of many facets- Miners, Keelmen, Soldiers, City
Professionals and residents
all took part. The mines have their songs of action and
of strike and the
border at times takes part. We look mainly for songs
which lace these traditions
together. Excuse us for not getting too close to the
border or to remote
military exploits or town politics nor too far into the
mines.

"Sangs"
These pages have
used many
sources. In some instances sources were combined to
provide a more
pleasing
version.
A Beuk o' Newcassel Sangs.
Joseph Cawhall,
1888
Cawhall was a producer of
woodcuts, and a colector of song and antiquities and art. His
main occupation
was that of ropemaker. He
was born in Newcastle in 1921. Crawhall died in London
July 7, 1896.
Cawhall
cites as his cource Mr.
John Stoke the collector responsible for Northumbrian
Minstrelsy.Crawhal
claims
to have collected only the
"best and most popular Songs" of local Poets. He rejected
"Political, pseudo-Military,
and Athletic" songs.
All of the songs which were
printed with notation have been included.
Northumbrian Minstrelsy.

"On the Town moor, by this
date,(1860's) the old staple broadside and chapbook trade of the
Fordyce
brothers was dying out, although even so late as 1861 a reporter
at the
Races coould patronisingly notice that....". p 5. Allen notes that
Fordyce
