wow, beautifully crafted and so moving. i worked with a Geordie in the moshav Fazael fields of the West Bank (yes, that place) in 1986. He used to sing "the collier lad is a canny lad.." song in the fields at 6am as we picked aubergine and tomatoes. Our Palestinian workmates loved Lyndsay's tune.
Christ! i spent a lot of my childhood just staring out of the back bedroom window onto the scene depicted at 06'30" (Salford. in my case, mid-late 60s & early '70s). Back then, I thought I was bored but now I'd say i had little distraction; only the public library up the street which was my favorite place and four parks within walking distance (yes, even in Salford). I can literally FEEL the scene, especially the lack of central heating 😏but it might as well be an alien civilization. I visit occasionally and am happy the place is still doing OK: the houses are still there thankfully but now "worth" 200k. The biggest change is the cars; in a photograph from my First Communion taken in the street there is not a single car in the picture, only about two people in the entire street owned one....today, the street and front "gardens" are jam packed with vehicles and the residents occasionally get into fist fights over parking spaces!
I'm from and still live in Salford. Much has changed yet there is still heritage and lots of parks and green space if you know where to look. House prices are rediculous though.
My dads side of the family. Were Scottish. Came from the highlands. They were as rough and tougher then iron fillings. My father had big hands and upper arms from working on a farm. I remember I told him to get stuffed I was 18 at the time. He grabbed me by the neck and lifted me without hesitation. And said wanna repeat that. Lol.
It's the music that is described that way, not the people. Yes the title of the video is ambiguous, but it is clear in the commentary when the phrase is used what is being referred to.

when I was a little kid everywhere and everyone was like this, what we have today is not progress, no one is happy, everyone is a member of a group who complains about something, everyone protests about stuff they're not happy about, social media is nothing more than a platform for unhappy people to express how they feel, everyone you speak to seems worried about something, back in the late 1950s (my DOB) everyone was busy working to make enough money to feed themselves, pay the rent and pay the Christmas club money each week, no one owned a car or telephone, not everyone had a TV yet, we didn't have a fridge or carpets and often went without food for a day or two and I would collect wood from derelict houses to burn at home on the one source of heat we had, a small coal fire, ask me when I would choose to be alive now or then. . .

They probably don't identify as 'men'. How dare you assume their gender. PS:- I am a similar age and agree entirely, I dread to think what would happen if a world war broke out and all these gender-confused were all that was left to defend the country.

Absolutely love it ,
Fabulous. I live in today's folk scene so this was extra fascinating for me :)
Are you in the NE of England ? I'm interested to know if there is a thriving scene there for this kind of music ?

Cars are simply and obviously the wrong transport choice for UK cities

Beautiful! Thanks!
Salt of the Earth, and to the Earth many have returned.
I had never heard of AL Lloyd before seeing this. Just been to look at his Wikipedia entry. He was quite a character, had quite a life!
Only fifty years ago but a completely different world. People then were more resilient, they could turn their hand to anything.
Amazing singing. Superb documenting. Also, that font at the end 🤤
Beautifully made and scripted. So much of that world that seemed so stable and unchanging back then has disappeared.
all that is solid melts into air
The good ole days of simpler times. This world will never be the same. 🙏🇺🇲🗽🇬🇧🙏
Amazing

Rough as iron filings perhaps, but if you talked to these people for the first time, it would be like they've known you all your life.

What is the town at the 5.50 mark, anyone know? Somewhere in county Durham?
A beautiful record of life as it was and it shows us how much we lose as we "progress and diversify"...
100%! Was thinking about wording this myself but you've done it for me.

Sad video. Anyone in the video is now either dead or old.
My parents were around in 1971 and they're still going strong. Not old at all.
Days before working class disappeared
The white working class.

AL Lloyd is Britains Harry Smith or Alan Lomax
They'd be far right today
I'd go back there in an instant, there's strength in those communities, before we were 'diversified'.
