about

An old favourite which always makes me think of my grandad, a veteran climber from Manchester who remembers singing this song when out in the mountains. Ewan McColl's song is inspired by his involvement in the Kinder trespass and the Right to Roam movement and backlash of the gamekeepers who defended the moorland on behalf of the landed gentry so that they and their wealthy friends could have sole enjoyment of the moors on their grouse shoots.

Despite a great leap forward in the CROW act (2000) the struggle for a right to roam in England (and Wales) continues www.righttoroam.org.uk
