Shake The Chains
With Nancy Kerr, Findlay Napier, Hannah Martin, Greg Russell, Tim Yates and special guest Boff Whalley (Chumbawamba).
From the industrial revolution, universal suffrage and the slave trade through to CND, Rock against Racism and the Miners’ strike, songs are a common and integral factor in all the movements that have sought to instigate change.
Shake the Chains is an exciting new touring commission from celebrated UK contemporary folk singer songwriters that will explore the role songs have played in social change, resistance and protest.
