The play was "Land of Green Ginger" - I recorded it when it was originally shown in the 1970s and later copied it to DVD which I still have somewhere. Always worth a look, as well as the Waterson sequences there were scenes in the gardens at Pickering Park and one scene where the local lad is on Hessle foreshore and points to the point where the Humber Bridge will eventually be built. In a "pigs might fly" moment he says something like "Aye, and when it's built City will be at Wembley".
I think we've got a copy of it somewhere. My dad was a Bluebell regular (performer and did the door) and was in it a couple of times (though LoGG isn't filmed at the Bluebell if I remember correctly). The whole play is terrific to watch for a Hullensian though.
You're right - I think it was for technical reasons that they couldn't film in the Bluebell and so I believe that they used the Haworth Arms.
This is in the play when the lass is getting on train from King X to meet her boyfriend back in civilisation. Scene designed with this song in mind I think
The Tube = top tv from the early 80s, many a great weekend started teatime Friday with tracks like this.
