  1. Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought #onthisday in 1485.
    A good example of Tudor propaganda.

    A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
    and
    The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
    From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620

    Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
    Richard de Winter: #baritone
    Robin Jeffrey: #lute
    Alison KInder: bass #viol

  6. Allen Clarke's song for the 1896 Winter Hill mass trespassers, all 10,000+ of them, which was printed on thousands of song sheets just like other popular broadside ballads. (Bolton Socialist Club sang this for the centenary. Does anyone still sing it? Is there a recording available?)

    Will yo’ come o’ Sunday morning’
    For a walk o’er Winter Hill?
    Ten thousand went last Sunday
    But there’s room for thousands still!

    O the moors are rare and bonny
    And the heather’s sweet and fine
    And the roads across the hilltops –
    Are the people’s – yours and mine!

    Which was later echoed in veteran Kinder trespasser Ewan MacColl's 1932 song The Manchester Rambler, a song so iconic that it has it's own wikipedia page.

    I may be a wage slave on Monday
    But I am a free man on Sunday.

  8. For anyone who feels that they've eaten too much, here is a
