To make it absolutely clear, it was not I who attached the name
Shield's to the soundclip. Whether the source - JA of C - gave it that
title, I don't know. This is not impossible given the Clough
connection. The FARNE Core Tunes article on Morpeth Rant (not my
work) also gives the Shield attribution.

But isn't Matt just quoting the Cloughs' title there?
Beware of secondary sources, in other words -
they don't corroborate where they are drawn from.
A citation of 'The Morpeth Rant' (new or old) from anyone but the
Cloughs,
with the Shields' title, from pre-1900 would be interesting -
one from anywhere near as far back as 1770,
when 'The Morpeth Rant' made its first virtual appearance, would be
astonishing.
