Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Road to Peterloo: Pete Coe, Laura Smyth & Brian Peters
The story of one of the most notorious incidents in British labour history – the ‘Peterloo Massacre’ in Manchester in 1819 – through some of the many broadside ballads that were printed around the time. Three singers and musicians from North West England – Pete Coe, Brian Peters and Laura Smyth – trace the story from its roots in the poverty and hunger suffered by handloom weavers in the early 19th century.
Their songs describe the terrible events of the day itself, when mounted soldiers charge
