Another vote here for Robb Johnson - also check out Joe Solo - a superb political songwriter and force of nature from Scarborough - his No Pasaran album about the Spanish Civil War is probably his best but there are also excellent albums about the Miner's Strike of the 80's and the Hull womens' campaign to improve safety on trawlers

Reg Meuross has also written some excellent political songs - especially the wonderful but tragic Faraway People about those who have died because of the failings of the Government's appalling Universal Credit system

Jez Lowe and John Tams are also great sources of tremendous songs
