A website launched last week
<
https://www.100ballads.org/>
"Broadside ballads were single-sheet songs that sold for a penny a piece.
This website concentrates on over 100 resoundingly successful examples
that you can investigate through recordings, images and a wealth of other
materials."
And a recording by the Carnival Band
