The Geese and Fountain (Croxton Kerrial): ‘Mat Callahan and Yvonne Moore’ Working Class Heroes 8.30pm

A very special night of Americana at the Geese and Fountain on Friday, July 5th, when we welcome Mat Callahan and Yvonne Moore from the USA for a night of songs from their recent recording, “Working-class Heroes, A History of Struggle in Song”.

The CD is a collection of American working-class, pre–World War II folk songs revived by Mat Callahan & Yvonne Moore; 20 songs written by both by folk canon heavyweights and lesser-known but equally gifted songwriters. Both beautiful and emotionally arresting, the album is a collection of stories as much as songs—stories of the women and men who (sometimes literally) gave their lives to emancipate the working class.

Heroes featured in this collection: Sarah Ogan Gunning, Ralph Chaplin, Woody Guthrie, Ella May Wiggins, Joe Hill, Paul Robeson, John Handcox, Aunt Molly Jackson, Jim Garland, and several more anonymous proletarian songwriters, whose names have been long forgotten but their words immortalized.
