No Drink, No Drink for Me

on BBC Radio 4 FM

We agree to abstain from all liquors of an intoxicating quality, whether ale, porter, wine or ardent spirits, except at medicine....

The story of the Temperance Movement, from the signing of the first pledge, in a cheese merchant's shop in Preston in 1832, down to the present day; with some of the hymns, ballads and recitations composed in support of the cause.

Sing a Song of Saturday,
Wages thrown away,
In the gas-lit 'public'
Faltering footsteps stray.
When the home is reached at last
All the money's gone:
Isn't that a grievous sight
To have to look upon?

Narrator David Mahlowe
Other parts read by Geoffrey Banks, John Fielding, Ronald Harvi, Harry Markham, John Pickles, Brian Trueman, Paul Webster
With the Rossendale Male Voice Choir, conductor Fred Tomlinson, and children from St. Stephen's Junior School, Little Harwood
