"I am pleased to have been involved with the production of these books because so much of our heritage, dialect & culture is being air-brushed from our industrial past. These books help to retain part of our working class tradition. "

Bob Olley, 2007

"these are excellent publications which should find a place on the shelves of every clog dancer."
