Thread Name: Lyr Req: Peterloo Massacre (Harvey Kershaw)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peterloo
There are a lot of songs about Peterloo; some written at the time (one slightly before), but this sounds like a recent one. Roy Palmer's book, The Sound of History, has some of the contemporary ones. I haven't managed to find the song you describe, but I'm sure that somebody will, in time. Can you give us any clues? Where did you hear it?
