stevethesqueeze	Origins: Songs from the Chartist movement (32)	RE: Origins: Songs from the Chartist movement	07 Mar 07
Hi from south wales. The spirit of the Chartists is still alive in the land of song....and protest!! DIC PENDERYN WAS INNOCENT!! Dawson Smith and the Exiles have recorded and are playing on the circuit an album of songs based on the epic welsh novels of Alexander Cordell. The songs tell of the story of the ordinary working class people at the time of the chartists and the riots that took place at that time. Dawson has included some scraps of original chartist material but has composed the songs as if the events were unfolding today. The album The Cordell Collection features welsh choirs, a brass band as well as the stand alone folk band. All proceeds from the album go the homeless. See www.dawsonsmith.com Dic Penderyn was one of the leaders, falsely convicted of killing a english solider he was hanged in Cardiff and it was many years before the truth came out that he was innocent. stevethesqueeze
