06 Sep 04 - 10:25 PM (#1265709) Subject: Songs of the Diggers From: GUEST,Julia I don't know much about the Digger social movement in England but there are a few good songs from/about them and so I'm wondering if there are more... So far I have (it's likely these aren't actual titles) Ye Noble Diggers All We Come in Peace Let Union Be any more? Any place to find info on the Diggers? thanks, Julia |

06 Sep 04 - 10:31 PM (#1265715) Subject: RE: Songs of the Diggers From: The Fooles Troupe "Diggers" was also used as a term in Australia. I vaguely seem to remember that there was also another reference to another location where it was used, I think it may have been South Africa. Obviously they may not be directly related to the English usage from the original English social movement, or is there? Robin |

Also see the documentary film on The Digger's stand (and Gerard Winstanley) in 1649 at St George's Hill, that's available on video - can't recall the Director at present ... Some years ago, a group tried (unsuccessfully ) to erect a placque to commemmorate The Diggers' stand, in this now very well-to-do area. Cheers! R-J |

Winstanley's Stand up now, Diggers all, in the DT, though given the wrong title; the Chumbawumba arrangement linked to (nearly) above seems a bit garbled). No connection of any kind to Australian usage, of course. |
