Annie from Armley
The Sailor Deceived
Annie from Armley:- Alistair Hulett's moving song
He Fades Away about asbestos-related cancer in Wittenoom inspired this song. I side-tracked to do some research about the asbestos factory in Armley, Leeds and came across the story of Annie Boothroyd. Annie died in 2007 of Mesothelioma. As a young lass she had played in the streets of Armley next to the J.W.Roberts asbestos factory. I wanted also to capture children's street games including skipping rhymes. This song is for Annie and her family.
The Sailor Deceived:- An English traditional song that I discovered when I was working for the British Council in Oman. The three verses were without music. Over the years I tried to find the music without luck. I finally wrote the tune myself.
