Songs with a Story

on BBC Radio 2

Nine to Five - songs of toil.
Ian Bradley presents a batch of working songs. But it's not all sweat and toil. Find out what the travelling yarn-spinners of Lancashire got up to in the kitchens of the county while husbands were out in the fields. Hear the lady whose first two hits were both work songs after she'd been discovered by Esther Rantzen, and discover which George Formby record was a favourite of Queen Mary's.
