Warp and Weft is a progressive folk album of songs about the Lancashire Cotton Famine. It features poems from the time collected by University of Exeter, as well as original songs by the band.
Cath Rogan says “As soon as we heard about the poems we wanted to do something about the Cotton Famine, it’s a piece of working class history which doesn’t get taught in schools and is largely forgotten.”
@CottonFaminePoetry tweeted that they were "Very happy that @Motheroforder1 are working to let people hear these century-and-a-half-old words from Lancashire."

The plans involve the demolition of the 1980s Harlequins Centre, which although not an architecturally significant building, it is relatively respectful of the surrounding townscape in terms of scale, and...
