  All this week Alex Glasgow will sing songs and tell stories from the North-East of England. Today’s story: ‘The Lambton Worm’ is about a terrible dragon and there’s an old Northumbrian song about it:

Whist! Lads, Hold Your Gobs
An’ Aa’ll Tell Ye an Awful Story
Whist! Lads, Hold Your Gobs
An Aa’ll Tell ye ‘bout the Worm
He’d Great Big Teeth,
A Great Big Gob,
An’ Great Big Goggle Eyes...

Next week: Taliesin by Robert Nye.
