Folk Music Protest

12 May 2023 @ 18:00 - 20:30

FROM £16

Join Living with the Machine at the Portico to sing out the ballad Manchester Rambler as well as new folk music on living with industry.

Folk musicians Alice Jones, Katy Ryder, Simon Robinson, and Pete Dilley were brought together by Leeds Museum and the British Library for an exhibition on the Industrial Revolution. The aim was to create brand-new music to accompany industrial ballads which mostly remained tuneless and unsung for over a hundred years.

The music recorded was used to explore some of human stories connected to the development of machines, including strikes and tragedies. Come along and journey into Britain’s industrial past, and join in with choruses which would rouse any spirit.
