Last weekend I was discovering the joy of listening to Leeds-based band English Teacher, whose singer Lily Fontaine hails from Colne, near Pendle, in Lancashire.
This weekend I’ve been rediscovering the joy of listening to Leeds-based band Chumbawamba, whose singer Alice Nutter hails from Burnley, near Pendle, in Lancashire.
One of English Teacher’s songs “The World’s Biggest Paving Slab” references the Pendle Witch Trials.
Alice Nutter, of course, was the name of one of the Pendle witches, and Chumbawamba’s Alice Nutter went on to write a play about the Witch Trials.
