Start Again.
Arriving late to this thread (been away all week)I am pleased to see that SO'P holds Tommy Armstrong in such high regard but I can not understand how he sees the anger expressed in a fine song as "Oakey Strike Evuctions" more acceptable than that in "Blackleg Miner". Look at a few more Armstrong songs such as "South Medomsley Strike", "Oakey's Keeker" and the original set of words to "The Durham Strike (Lockout)" to see that he didn't exactly preach peace and love to the oppressors either.
Anyway first time I sang "Blackleg Miner" some forty odd years ago I was told I didn't sound angry enough.
