His most well-known song is probably “Euphys Coronation”. == Early life == Thomas Marshall was born in c1806 in Newcastle, it is thought in Silver Street (long since demolished). He started work as an apprentice brush-maker with a Mr Laidler (or Laidlaw) of Laidlaw & Nicholson, whose business at the time was located in Carpenter’s Tower (site unknown), later moved to Pilgrim Street and then became Byer’s & Co. He continued working for the same company for many years at his trade as a journeyman, becoming a foreman brush-maker. He would only be in his early twenties when in 1829 he published a collection of his songs, amounting to 24 pages filled with humour. The Chapbook was called ''A Collection of original local songs''; it was "Printed for the author by Wm Fordyce, Dean Street, Newcastle 1829" In the early 19th century, Newcastle had quite a collection of local eccentrics (also referred to as “worthies”, and John Marshall mentioned them, and their peculiarities, in many of the songs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Marshall (songwriter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
