Just saw the With Banners Held High footage from Wakefield over the weekend thanks to DonkeyDave on Y**t**e and it reminded me of the ace times I had with Paul Whitaker and David Mays in our band Redgrass and when we played at the event 10 years ago - that time has wizzed past ->
here is the audio from that set - a good listen I think.....

Fun fact: there's countless folk songs about the lives and welfare of workers being exploited by business leaders who hoard all the wealth while others suffer, that are just as relevant today!

Delighted! The material for the union I'm part of has arrived to try and recruit some members through the year.
I've got a wee talk this week but I'm not entirely sure what to say, 'cos I'm on the spot

Sadly, Americans have had the option to join a union and fight this stupidity for a very long time, but haven't taken it.
