is today............but cast your mind back to a time when life was not so easy.........to a time when Lancashire was invaded by survivors of the Spanish Armada, when Bavarian thigh slapping was practised openly on Pendle Hill, when the County could boast 484 and a half brass bands, and diesel was only three shillings a gallon.

These amazing facts have been discovered by Doc Horatio Harvey, the world's leading authority on the lost songs of Lancashire. After years of painful research, in such places of hardship as Stalmine Reading Room and Bolton C.W.S. Tea Rooms, he has assembled an astonishing list of ever to be forgotten songs.

In order to bring these songs in front of a paying public the Doc has bribed his musical collaborators Phil & Stan Philistans (not related) to join him in the venture of presenting his gleanings to an astonished world, significantly through the medium of Radio Thrutch FM, possibly the the world's only virtual heritage radio station.

In spite of all this, the good Doctor hopes you will be enlightened as you rummage through the site and hopes you will enjoy the delights on offer, to the extent that you may wish for a personal consultation from the Doc and his minions at a venue of your choice.
