Jake Thackray song - Castleford Ladies

[Spillage66]

What's the story behind this song mate? It's good, folky humour. I'm from Cas'.

[JakeThackrayfan]

I don't really know. I guess this was one of Jake's songs arising from a news story he'd come across - there are a number of such 'point numbers' in his repertoire, and if you listen to the Live Performance CD you hear him talk about the stories behind them (but not this song).
