Daniel Kelly Tolpuddle Martyrs, any songs? (35) RE: Tolpuddle Martyrs, any songs? 22 Feb 20

Wow, this is outrageous.

Those lyrics posted for 'Albion's Shore' are directly lifted from a convict poem by James Porter (written in 1844).

I just finished my own setting after reading Porter's autobiography.

Links to the original source in the video description.

Don Brian also did a setting of this song on his album of convict songs, 'The Convict Voice'.
