Dear Purple Foxx
Yes I have got a particular country and period in mind.I am thinking of now in modern Britain.The film Dirty Pretty Things was a brilliant account of illegal migrant workers living on the margins of Blair's Britain...hounded by the press and the long arm of the govt but needed to do all the filthy and low paid work few others want.Are there any songs in the folk tradition covering this .Just think of the cockle pickers who dies in Morecombe Bay.Where are the songs to remember them in the same way that Woody wrote Deportees?
