Description: | This is a short song in praise of Newcastle - note the Temperance reference in the first verse.This song forms part of a small songbook written by local confectioner, T.W. Adams and dated '1883' in manuscript on the title-page. Little is known of the author other than his profession, but the nature of the compositions would suggest that Adams was not a professional music hall performer or composer. It is more likely that the confectioner was a small-time entertainer who composed small 'throw away' pieces for enjoyment which he was able to have printed, probably for sale in his shop. ; Late nineteenth century songbook | Publisher: | unknown | Rights holder: | rights holder : Gateshead Council | Subjects: | development & urban growth invention and progress | Temporal: | start=1861;end=1900; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:G0700202 | Go to resource |
