Catcheside-Warrington's Tyneside Songs


Tyneside Songs with pianoforte accompaniment – by C. E. Catcheside-Warrington – Copyright – is a Chapbook of Geordie folk songs consisting of four volumes, first published 1912 and 1913. As it stated on the cover, the publications were compiled and edited by Charles Ernest Catcheside-Warrington.
The books cost initially 2/=. A further reprint was carried out in 1927, when a price of 3/= was printed on the front of the book. Many of this reprint had a red star shaped sticker placed on the front showing that the selling price was in fact 3/6. A further reprint was done in the middle 1950s. The later editions were renamed "Album of Tyneside Songs with pianoforte accompaniment".
This collection is important as the songs are all important traditional standards and that they are arranged in the "parlor" performance style representing the classic tradition as opposed to "music hall"
