I moan about R4 plentifully, but despite its problems of recent times it is still brilliant at its best, and there is nothing else like it.

About time they redid the song then. One of my favourites from the recent(ish) catalogue.

Simon Nicol and Ralph McTell isn't it?
Simon doesn't write many songs, but the few he does are always the best.

Yes, McTell/Nicol. It's on Gladys' Leap album - Good programme this. This reminds me we have a Wat Tyler Country Park not too far from here, which for some reason, during Conservative reign had it's name changed, but in recent times it has been changed back again!  http://www.basildon.gov.uk/80256B880041850A/vWeb/wpEFEN5J3JVU |

Went to the park on a recent visit down that neck of the woods and bored the kids witless explaining who Wat Tyler was until the penny dropped with them that it was the same Wat Tyler that Fairport sang about. I think they prefer the musical version rachel |

Having just finished Thomas Costain's THE THREE EDWARDS, perhaps Aliaster Dunn's book about the revolt might be a good way to proceed. Has anybody here read it yet? Are there any other books on Richard II and/or the peasant revolt of 1381 that are recommendable?

Somewhere I have some Biographies of some of the participants in the events of 1381 but most of those are packed away in anticipation of a move...But...Edward Rutherford's novel "London" deals with the years 1357 through 1422 in the chapter "London Bridge" and certainly touches on the events. Anya Seton"s "Katherine" deals with the romance between John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford and deals with much of the same period. J of G was Richard II sometimes(unofficial??) regent. K.S. was G. Chaucer's sister in law so there are some interesting side charactors I haven't read THE THREE EDWARDS yet but will look out for it. Thanks, Kathryn |
