21 Jul 00 - 01:18 PM (#262231) Subject: 'Tolpuddle Man' Information From: GeorgeH The recent "Tolpuddle 2000" thread reminded me that, some while back, there was a discussion about who composed the Tolpuddle Man material. I've now found our tape of this (marked "Pre-release copy" and undated; bought from the band at a concert performance in Dorchester Corn Exchange a good while ago). The track listing shows: A Tolpuddle Man: Moore Rigs of the Time: Trad. Captain Swing: Moore The Oath: Ryan/Moore The Road to Dorchester: Ryan/Moore Lament: Wright Uniting Together: Ryan/Moore God is Our Guide: Loveless (a reading, I think) Suffer the Children: Moore Farewell: Moore/Trad Waiting: Moore Gather and Stand: Ryan The Wrong Side of the World: Ryan/Moore The Labour's Cause: Ryan/Moore. So as was suggested at the time, most of it seems to be "jointly created" by Graham Moore and Mick Ryan. The whole work is credited to "Endangered Species", whose other members are listed as: Colin Thompson, Chris Robson, Sophie Wright, Tina Leeming, Chas Upton, John Prince, John Bond. It also says the musical drama "Tolpuddle Man" was "developed in workshop by Endangered Species, and based on George Loveless' account of his experiences as 'leader' of the six Dorset farm labourer . . " However I believe not all of those listed as members of Endangered Species were actually involved in the workshop development of the show . . Anyway, it's a fine work! G. |

I was Liz Hodder then, long blonde hair, annoying laugh and heckler extraordinaire..... I used to hang around with Alex Lyons a lot, at the Weymouth, Dorchester and Martinstown Folk clubs, for which I did the posters. How is life and what are you doing these days?? LTS |

I met him at Tolpuddle a couple of years ago when I was touring with the Solidarity Choir. This festival was one of the really memorable highlights of our tour. I don't imagine he'll remember me either, although he might remember the choir. Why don't you guys join the Mudcat? It's a pretty cool place! Jenny |

20 May 03 - 01:25 AM (#955945) Subject: RE: 'Tolpuddle Man' Information From: GUEST,Dick Holdstock I would love to find out how to get hold of the Tolpuddle tape. Can any one tell me how? I like the following song about the martyrs: Song of Liberty Written by George Loveless (One of the 5 Tolpuddle Martyrs) on a piece of paper immediately after he was sentenced to transportation, March 19, 1834. It was not new but he made it popular. God is our guide, from field, from wave, From plough, from anvil, and from loom; We come our country's rights to save, And speak a tyrant faction's doom: We raise the watchword liberty: We will, we will, we will be free!!! God is our guide no sword we draw. We kindle not wars battle fires: By reason, union, justice, law, We claim the birthright of our sires: We raise the watchword liberty: We will, we will, we will be free!!! Source Joyce Marlow, The Tolpuddle Martyrs. page97, Panther Books 1971. |

03 Mar 20 - 04:46 AM (#4037237) Subject: RE: 'Tolpuddle Man' Information From: Herga Kitty Further to wes.w's post of 13 June 2001, Sophie was asked to revive "To Win the Day" to mark the 150th anniversary of the TUC last year. Derek and I had the great privilege, along with Sophie, Lucy Findlay, Rod and Mary Harrington, Bob Axford and Martin Stephen, of performing it in the Dorchester Shire Hall, in the very courtroom where the six men were tried and sentenced to transportation. We managed another 3 performances in 2019 and are hoping to perform in the Methodist Chapel in Tolpuddle where the Lovelesses and their families worshipped, once the restoration of the chapel is completed, but at the moment our next scheduled performances are 2nd October at Chettle House in North Dorset and 24th October in Chaffcombe Village Hall in Somerset.
