Jarrow Song - Alan Price ♪♫
Jarrow Song /Alan Price... enjoy.
HISTORY:
The global Great Depression brought particular distress to North East England, where many citizens were miners and ship workers. The collapse of domestic and international trade in shipbuilding, coal mining, and steel industries led to even more severe unemployment and poverty than seen in other parts of the country. At the time, unemployment benefit lasted only for 26 weeks, and the Unemployment Assistance Board, created in 1934, provided inadequate relief for long-term unemployed people, who were put under the Poor Law, which forced them to do service for less money than normal. Senior generations of families were forcibly evicted from their family homes.
The Jarrow March (or Jarrow Crusade, from the phrase on banners carried by the marchers), was an October 1936 protest march against unemployment and extreme poverty suffered in North East England.The 207 marchers travelled from the town of Jarrow to the Palace of Westminster in London, a distance of almost 300 miles (480 km), to lobby Parliament. Their MP, Ellen Wilkinson, known as 'Red Ellen', walked with them. When the marchers completed their feat, very little was done for them. The ship industries remained closed and all that they were given was £1 each to get the train back from London.
Jarrow is a small town on the mouth of the River Tyne, near the city of Newcastle, which had a large ship building industry. A boomtown, Jarrow prospered at the start of the 20th century, when more than a quarter of the world's shipping tonnage was built in North East England. For example, Palmer's Yard had been established in Jarrow in the mid-19th century. After the Great Depression, the town was never the same.
The march was to find jobs to support Jarrow men and their families. It was also a bid for respect and recognition, not only for the people of Jarrow, but for others in a similar situation all over the country. The marchers had no resources other than their own determination, and some good boots supplied by the public. During the march, wherever the marchers stopped for the night, the local people gave them shelter and food.
The National Unemployed Workers' Movement had organised several similar marches before the Jarrow March but received little political support due to the NUWM's links with the Communist Party. When the Jarrow Borough Council organised the protest in July 1936, they named it a "walk" rather than a march, partly to make it clear their protest was not affiliated with the NUWM in the hope of gaining more support.
No Communists were allowed to participate; some organised another march later in the year, led by Walter Harrison, the grandfather of Conservative politician David Davis.
The route the marchers took was in 22 legs with overnight stops, covering a total of 280.5 miles (451.4 km) as follows:
Jarrow to Chester-le-Street -- (12 miles)
Chester-le-Street to Ferryhill -- (12 miles)
Ferryhill to Darlington -- (12 miles)
Darlington to Northallerton -- (16 miles)
Northallerton to Ripon -- (17 miles)
Ripon to Harrogate -- (11½ miles)
Harrogate to Leeds -- (15½ miles)
Leeds to Wakefield -- (9 miles)
Wakefield to Barnsley -- (9¾ miles)
Barnsley to Sheffield -- (13½ miles)
Sheffield to Chesterfield -- (11¾ miles)
Chesterfield to Mansfield -- (12 miles)
Mansfield to Nottingham -- (14½ miles)
Nottingham to Loughborough -- (15 miles)
Loughborough to Leicester -- (11¼ miles)
Leicester to Market Harborough -- (14½ miles)
Market Harborough to Northampton -- (14½ miles)
Northampton to Bedford -- (21 miles)
Bedford to Luton -- (19 miles)
Luton to St Albans -- (10¼ miles)
St Albans to Edmonton -- (11 miles)
Edmonton to Marble Arch, London (8½ miles)
The last surviving member of the march, Cornelius Whalen, died on 14 September 2003, at age 93.

Alan Price Set - Simon Smith and his amazing dancing bear 1967
Lyrics:
I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh, I'd step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming
Oh, who would think a boy and a bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be
Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear
They'll love us, won't they?
They feed us, don't they?
Oh, who would think a boy and a bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be
Who needs money when you're funny?
The big attraction everywhere
Will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
It's Simon Smith and his amazing dancing bear

Alan Price & Georgie Fame - Rosetta 1971
Well, my little girl is a sweet little girl
But she does things that make your eyebrows curl
You let her loose for a Friday night
You know it's gonna end in a fight
Rosetta drinks her whisky neat
She gets in a fight and she might get beat
So I go round on the Saturday night
And ask her if she feels alright
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Well, well, well - well, well, well - well, well, well
When Friday comes she's fine again
So we go to a club where we got friends
Knocked on the door but we couldn't get in
'Cos the boss don't want no fuss
So we went up town and we drank around
And Rosie ended on the ground
I took her home and I put her to bed
And you can guess what I said
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Well, well, well - well, well, well - well, well, well
(Instrumental)
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Well, well, well - well, well, well - well, well, well
Well, my little girl is a sweet little girl
But she does things, makes your eyebrows curl
You let her loose on a Friday night
You know it's gonna end in a fight
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Rosetta are you better, are you well, well, well
Well, well, well - well, well, well - well, well, well
Well, well, well - well, well, well - well, well, well
Well, well, well - well, well, well - well, well, well

Alan Price Set - The house that Jack built 1967
Brother Nigel paints the stairs with the signs of the Zodiac
Throws paint in the mirror as he stands in his plastic mac
My sister Emma rises ever round and round the garden
Spends the whole day saying I beg your pardon
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up to the sky
Uncle Joe cracks walnuts inbetween his toes for fun
And looks through coloured glass at the dark spots on the sun
And Mary she believes that her mother was a queen
Keep saying you just missed him, King Solomon's just been
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up to the sky
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up to the sky
Cousin Festus writes a letter each and every single day
He believes that writing letters keep the Asian Flu away
I've got a reservation, now I was given it for free
'Cause I killed all the flies in the State of Tennessee
Oh my my my my my my my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that Jack built baby
And it reaches up to the sky
I'm coming
I'm coming
Please save a place for me
Oooh, I'm coming babe
Oooh, I'm coming babe
Oooh, I'm coming babe

Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
You'll never find a better way
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Let us sing the night and day away
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Sunshine, I'm only dreaming
Sunshine, I'm only dreaming
You'll never find a better way
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Let us sing the night and day away
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Sunshine, I'm only dreaming
Sunshine, I'm only dreaming
But this is England on a winter's afternoon
There is no sun, there's just a pale and tardy moon
And shivering sparrows on the smoking chimneytops
And all the children suffer from cold and flue and raindrops
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
You'll never find a better way
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Let us sing the night and day away
Lord, don't stop the Carnival
Sunshine, I'm only dreaming
Sunshine, I'm only dreaming
T-t-t-t-t-t only dreaming
