Big Al Whittle English tunes & poems by John Clare (49) RE: English tunes & poems by John Clare 18 May 24

Yes there must have been a mass nervous breakdown as a result of the land enclosures. I think it was put forward by AL Lloyd that the tremour in the singing voices of the peasantry was a sympton of an entire class of society dispossessed and alienated.
I wondered if the Peter Bellamy tremour was an attempt to convey some of this residual angst.
Does anyone else remember The Celebrated Ratcliff Stout Band? They had a very nice song about John Clare on one of their albums.
