Sounds grand.  Who were the musicians involved?

Pentangle:  Finale  (Record Store Day 3LP, 2016).

I must only have played  this  a few times but it's very good.  It's from the 2008  anniversary tour  and I was at one of the concerts.    .  RIP John, Bert, Danny,  Terry.

Attended a concert about the 1826 Lancashire Loom Breakers riots when workers turned against the increasing mechanisation of their jobs and rampaged around East Lancashire for a week destroying the new fangled looms.
A mix of narration, song and dance, that was a wonderful afternoon. Of course it all failed. The mill owners hijacked the money coming in to look after the poor to rebuild their mills with even better equipment, but at least the workers tried.
Sadly some died, but many who were sentenced to death had their sentences commuted and were imprisoned for a maximum of 18 months.

Sounds good. What sort of thing have they been playing on the concerts they have done together so far? (Might give a clue as to what may be on the album.)

It was okay- singer stumbled on the scansion at one point but if course I've been listening  to the original for decades so any deviation would stand out.
It sort of pleases me the ISB  are , in this case at least,   included as part of a prog.  canon. ' Ithkos' might have  been a better choice.

The ISB piece was very good to my ears, and Gruf Rhys' best performance. He was the weak link to a certain extent, when he first came on to sing Living In The Past he was like a deer in the headlights and had a bit of a 'mare. Glad he improved as the nerves eased as it was his birthday.

That looks like a bootleg. The school one contained a cd, a dvd, a T shirt, posters etc etc and sold for about £40. . Really wish I'd  got one.. The presentation was interesting but inaccurate and contained some footage from non festival gigs. I was the only one in our group who watched it who wasn't there due to exams. The parents of. Phil Mason of Alfa Nine were at the presentation and speak in the film. A lot of people I know who went haven't been to a festival since!!!
