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. See more here : https://digspag.org.uk/riot-the-story-of-the-east-lancashire-loom-breakers-in-1826/?fbclid=IwY2xjawTLWUxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEejaWW-p7OqJGRseK2OQNWMFwNBPrX6lSpdYJ7KN2XTrlLPxtTqI5FuTRdq98_aem_Eq6oa1TO3T8ZvjFIcyEOCw Sounds grand. Who were the musicians involved?

Better late than never, I guess. I picked up a copy of Stornoway's album Bonxie in a charity shop the other day, and ... wow! I know that a few people here (davidmjs, I'm looking at you) have promoted them over the years, but I just never looked into them. Excellent |

Actor and musician Glen Hansard. Motorcycle crash at the age of 56. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ekn9d37qvo This one is just brutal. He was launching a world tour in support of his latest solo album, after a triumphant three-year run with the reunited Swell Season. His music has filled this house for two decades. It’s going to take awhile for us to come to grips with the fact that we will never get to see him again. |
