‘Everyone should see this show’ George Monbiot

“Thank you for your wonderful work, I will be drawing on many of your online resources for teaching my political theory courses”
Professor LeeAnne Broadhead, University of Cape Breton, Canada

Coming to see your show was a restorative act and my 9 year old LOVED it. She actually said “Mummy, this is way better than I thought it would be!” She grabbed the songbook and belted it all out and I got to hiss and boo too. We didn’t stop talking about it all night, it was fab! Ella and Susie

“What a brilliant way of energising people for change” Les Gunbie

“The show was amazing, thanks for your joy skill and stamina!” Liz, Reclaim The Power

“Thank you for the work you are doing, it is important. Your visit led to a lot of constructive reflection by our folks, understanding the need both to be understood by others, and to understand others”

Watching your show was the first time I’ve found history interesting. This is an important work. Scarlett Penn, WWOOF UK

“Thanks so much for coming to Frome. It was an amazing, enlightening and inspiring evening.” Anna Francis, Frome Town Council

I heard extremely positive feedback from everyone afterwards. Several people saying ‘that was excellent ‘ and to my relief my historian fiancé agreed! It was terrific to see the teenagers singing along too and I’m hoping they use their songbooks for further research.
Laura Wirtz, London Quakers

The show pieces together strands of our social history across the centuries in an engaging and entertaining way – and in plain English too!
It brings history to life leaving you thinking to yourself: Oh, that’s what it was all about! …and all this punctuated with glorious folk songs performed with consummate skill and ease.
Rev Dr Berj Topalian, St Monica Trust, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol
