Tommy Armstrong (singer)
Thomas "Tommy" Armstrong (1848 – 1920) was a County Durham concert hall song writer and performer in the late 19th century. His most famous song is arguably "Wor Nanny’s a mazer". He was known as "The Pitman Poet" or "The Bard of the Northern Coalfield".
== Early life ==
Tommy Armstrong was born in Wood Street, Shotley Bridge, County Durham, on 15 August 1848. Armstrong was of very short stature, and very bow legged (thought to be caused by rickets when young) and this caused him to have problems all his life, including using a walking stick when older.
He started work in the mines at the age of 9 as a trapper boy, and at the age of 12 had progressed to a "pony boy". He worked at various collieries in the area including Tanfield Lea colliery, near Stanley, and also worked at the collieries at Addison, East Tanfield, and Tanfield Moor.
