"Wow, what a great way to marry popular music within an historic context. I love that there is an Australian representation in your playlist as well as The Pogues. In fact, a great cross section of musical genre covered. Another interesting inclusion could have been 'From little things, big things grow' (Paul Kelly/Kev Carmody) which tells the story of Vincent Lingari, an indigenous Australian who stood up to Lord Vesty, a British Aristocrat and owner of one of the biggest properties in Australia. Lingari and his fellow workers were basically paid in flour and basic goods, like blankets, and went on strike until their land was returned to them and thus started the Land Rites movement in Australia during the latter part of the 20th Century. Great job to everyone involved." From our Feedback: |
