Heres the Northumbrian singer guitarist Mike Wildes performing "Sally wheatley" a song of unequited love originating from the Newcastle North East of England area (Northumbria) .Mike a graphic artist sang a whole range of songs for me many of which you would never usualy hear performed solo accompanied by his own jazzy guitar.
Sally Wheatley is probably by Joe Wilson the Tyneside Bard of great fame song and published in "Bits of S at least in the form known today Sangs and Homely stories by Joe Wilson" Published in Newcastle in the late 1880's the song is sometimes attributed to Alex Glasgow over such claim a debate stkill continues,but the song is definitely of much older vintage.
Joe Wilson is recorded as being a real 'Character' and in his time was a publican, a music hall performer and a famous Temperance speaker. Joe Wilson of Newcastle (c.1840-1874), Was a stage-comedian and printer of cheap songbooks, who also wrote such songs as No Work and Keep Yor Feet Still, Geordie Hinny
