Attila the Stockbroker and Barnstormer 1649

[@gavincampbell7690]

For almost 30 years he's had the hairs on the back of my neck tingling. ❤️

I heard an album of his comical stories at a party, in the 1970's.Nobody seemed to mind that the party had stopped, it was also good party entertainment! This was BEFORE Margaret Thatcher. She was, naturally a fund of opportunities for satirists! But even before having her to base stories and songs on, Attila was a talented satirist! This music is also great. No end to his talents! In fact he has so many talents, the government might benefit from putting a tax on them!

This is most of our new album 'Restoration Tragedy' plus a couple of other pieces at the end. If you like what you see and hear you can get the album on double vinyl (it's 58 minutes long!) or CD from www.attilathestockbroker.com/merch.php or at all gigs, both Barnstormer 1649 and Attila solo poetry shows. You won't find it anywhere else :)

A revolutionary Jethro Tull!Nice work.Keep up the ranting.

[@attilastockbroker1]

No. A revolutionary punk David Munrow! I LOATHE ALL PROG ROCK :)

[@rumpraisin]

@@attilastockbroker1 I would have said David Munrow if I had heard of him. Jethro Tull ,Steelye Span and Fairport Convention were the only 'ye olde England' folk/rock bands that I knew of prior to being enlightened by you. It's a shame that JT went from making short, catchy little songs to long, drawn out concept 'symphonies'. All the best Attila and your band of merry men!

Course in Dymchurch the fishermen actually did catch his brother James II trying to get to France in 1688. Hello, fishing chaps. I am but a common sailing chappie looking for a berth, as you chaps call it. And just what is it you fellows do exactly? really, how fascinating. And just how long have you been common fisherfolk? I wonder how they sussed him. Probably recognised him off the coins I expect.

Battle of Worcester was the Third Civil War. The end of the second was the Battle of Preston. Scots got mashed up by Cromwell in both. Nobody messes with the Big O.

[@attilastockbroker1]

Diferent interpretations....

Hello, I am searching for one song (and also the guitar tabs) of attila the stockbroker, but I do not know the name. It starts with: "YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD COME TO THIS... THEY TOOK YOUR FREEDOM NOW THEY WANT YOUR LIFE..." Could anybody tell me which song of attila this is? I searched on KZbin, but I haven't found it.

Never quite got the hang of the Diggers. They dug up the common land and planted it for themselves, which sounds like privatisation to me. The people who had been using it for grazing etc. were obvious pissed off.

[@attilastockbroker1]

They planted it for everybody.

[@WORKERS.DREADNOUGHT]

@@attilastockbroker1 How did that work?

[@janoshunyadi2]

@@WORKERS.DREADNOUGHT Well, it didn't please the local landowners - they probably saw them as unwelcome competition. In Surrey, they called in the army, but Fairfax concluded that the diggers were doing no harm and let them be. However, the local lord organised gangs to attack diggers, then stitched them up in court, so they were forced to leave.

On the isle of Wight, at St Helen's there is England's largest village green. If someone were to dig it up & plant their own crops, the locals would get really pissed off, because although it is Common Land its not as if nobody wants it. We tend to think of "commons" as being swampy rough pasture that is no good for anything, but "commoners" had rights to graze and take firewood & stuff like that, so Winstanley's bunch, whatever their pamphlets say, must have seemed as if they were privatising it. I mean, I am all in favour of the Earth being a common treasury for all & that, but you have to see it in its time & a wider context.

[@attilastockbroker1]

@@WORKERS.DREADNOUGHT No they weren't - it was unused waste ground and they were planting it to grow food for the local community
