Robert B. Waltz	Songs of land/housing strife/resistance? (34)	RE: Songs of land/housing strife/resistance?	03 Mar 24
The obvious place to start for something like this is Irish "Land League" songs. There are quite a few of these. Among the most popular: The Blackbird of Avondale/The Arrest of Parnell (Roud #5174) The Bold Tenant Farmer (Roud #5164; this should be easy to find, because the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem recorded it) Farmer Michael Hayes/The General Fox Chase (Roud #5226) Lord Waterford (Roud #6529) is sung to "The Shan Van VOght The Moneygran Pig Hunt (Roud #13345. Not as popular as the preceding, but with a bit more humor) The DT version Tommy Armstrong's "Durham Strike/Durham Lockout" (referring to an event of 1892) is supposed to be sung to "Tramps and Hawkers"/"Paddy West," so everyone could easily join in That's at least something to start with.
