A Beuk o’ Newcassell Sangs – (full title – A Beuk o’ Newcassell Sangs Collected by Joseph Crawhall Newcastle-on-Tyne, Mawson, Swan & Morgan, M.D. CCC.LXXXVIII) is a book containing approximately 35 songs complete with their lyrics, and in some cases, the music.
The Geordie folk songs all relate in some way or other to North East England, and many are in Geordie dialect. It was edited by Joseph Crawhall II.
It is, as the title suggests, a collection of sangs (or in English "songs") from the Newcassel (or "Newcastle") area.
