Ian Mather:
"I recall sharing a stage with Dennis Skinner and Tony Benn singing "Daddy what did you do in the strike" during the strike, and only a few weeks after McColl released the words. the cheers and ovation of 1,000+ that night made me realise what a powerful political tool folk music can be."

Aye indeed, and I wonder are there questions begging pertaining to this, regards the matter of recent legislation raised in the "All Folk Singers are Terrorists" thread.
