The Martians have Landed in Wigan - Bernard Wrigley
You might have had to have been visiting folk clubs at a certain time of your life to know the connection, but they were both Lancashire lads doing the circuit. Mike Harding got a bigger break by sitting on a stuffed Alsatian dog on Top of the Pops (Lochdale Plowboy) - he later apologised on his next tour.
As Mr. Wrigley used to say (possibly still does) when he got his little chest organ out - "It takes a hammer, a chisel and a fortnight to tune this bugger."
Damn, maclad beat me to it again, but i'm leaving mine in again for the research that went into it.

A day in the life The Beatles
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
