Taking pride of place in the window of the Brigg Oxfam Book
Shop in Wrawby Street is a vinyl LP, Unto Brigg Fair. It features the fine singing voice of local man Joseph Taylor
and other Lincolnshire singers, recorded in 1908 by famous composer Percy
Grainger.
This piece of Brigg history looks a snip at £14.99p for those
traditionalists who still have the equipment to play it.

Is there a CD version of these trad songs? If not, why not?
