Hi Gazza,

The second one is "Les Tricateuses" or "We Persisted" written by Jenny Reid of Sheffield. Currently recorded on Rosie Hood's latest album, and soon to be released on Marilla Homes's new album.

The first one I know from Bob & Gill Berry's album Bittersweet.

Chorus is:
This is the land of smoke and of fire,
This is the land of freeman and slave
Smokestack and mill rising higher and higher
This is the land that Victoria made

Can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, will have a look when I get home :)
