John Stokoe (author) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Stokoe (author) John Stokoe was a 19th-century Tyneside (and maybe South Shields) author and historian. He co-operated with the author John Collingwood Bruce in compiling the hugely important “Northumbrian Minstrelsy” published in 1882. == Details == Stokoe lived is South Shields (according to edition of “The North-Country Garland of Song” appearing in the Monthly Chronicle of January 1891. In editing the “Northumbrian Minstralry” he co-operated with fellow author John Collingwood Bruce. The article Music of Northumbria, credits John Stokoe with copying out, in 1950, some of the tunes from John Smith’s tunebook of 1750, a book now long lost, and the pair creating this comprehensive collection of old Northern Songs. The work was on behalf of, and published by, Newcastle Society of Antiquaries. According to Thomas Allan in his Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings (page1), “(Weel May) The Keel Row”, described by many as the Tyneside National Anthem, was a popular local melody long before 1760 and is long associated with the area covered by the medieval English kingdom of Northumbria and Tyneside, and it was not originally Scottish words to a Scottish tune, as several people had been claiming.〔 In the same book on page 54, Thomas Allan quotes Stokoe from "The North-Country Garland of Song” giving details of William Purvis (Blind Willie). He gives details oh Blind Willie’s father, baptism, life, and music, and goes on to say that although many people have attributed the melody of Broom Buzzems to Blind Willie, there is no evidence of this other than the singer’s partiality for it.〔
