Subject: RE: alastair hulet/ Alistair Hulett - info?
Alistair Hulett is brilliant.Dance of The Underclass is a great album but I also think Red Clydeside is an example of a politically committed and creatively inspired musician on top form.It about the explosive situation in Glasgow during the First World War and its immediate aftermath and contains many fine songs including "When Johnny Came Hame To Glasga" about the great anti war socialist John Maclean.Stirring stuff! When he died ten thousand went to his funeral.
