I can count the number of songs about superheroes from Barnsley written and performed by folk musicians from Barnsley on the fingers of one finger. Likewise such a song being covered by a children's choir also hailing from said South Yorkshire town. Step forward then Kate Rusby, for it is she, and the BYC Junior Choir (4-7 year olds) who sing their hearts out in this fabulous ode to a Yorkshire Tea drinking titan.

Not just a great cover version, check out too the kids' marvellous costumes & actions. And shameless product placement!
Proof that Barnsley does have some redeeming qualities.
