My mother was working at the Ballachulish Hotel in the 1930's. On January 15, 1937 Paul Robeson and his accompaniest (Anna Hegvitas) and a few others were staying in the hotel. After they had finished their dinner, my mother approached the group and they graciously signed her autograph book. We still have the book.

And in August 1817, Owen made what he considered to be the most important speech of his life, and which he denounced all religion as the cause of human misery. His ideas eventually corrupted whole nations educational systems, being totally separated from God and run by governments.

Fantastic video.factual and interesting!!

What a great man he stood for the working class of scotland

My great great grandfather’s brother Silvestro D’Ambrosio and two cousins Angelo Antonio D’Ambrosio and Francecso D’Ambrosio also died on that ship. Rest in peace 🙏❤️🫡

I had the pleasure of joining Hoover Cambuslang in Sept. 1969 and did a 4 year apprenticeship in the Toolroom and then from Sept 1973 to Jan. 1981 working in the Toolroom.

The troop train comprised 15 carriages and six vans, mostly Great Central stock; they were all wooden bodied and gaslit. It is believed that some of the troops jumped out of the train and were hit by the northbound train. Tinsley forgot the train on which he had travelled. He (or Meakin) should have placed a collar on the lever, which meant that the lever could not be pulled. He also had to tell the next box north, Kirkpatrick, that there was a train on the up line. He failed to do so. The rule book required him to do both these tasks. If Kirkpatrick was aware of the obstruction, the signalman could not even have sent a train on to Quintinshill. Meakin and Tinsley were not the only culprits. There were two stationary goods trains in the loops at Quintinshill, one northbound and one southbound. (This is why the local train was placed onto the up main line.) The goods train crews were supposed to enter the box solely to sign the Train Register; they remained there, although they had no business to do so. The crew of the local did return to their engine after signing the Register, but they should have ensured that the train was adequately protected, insisting that collars were placed on the relevant levers. The Gretna Stationmaster must also take some of the blame. He was the manager of Meakin and Tinsley, and was supposed to make unannounced visits to the box. He rarely did so, as the box was over a mile from the station, but he must have noticed Tinsley hitching a ride on the local, as he had been doing so regularly for two years. Then there is the stock provided for the Troop Train. Admittedly it was wartime and the railways were hard-pressed, but surely better rolling stock could have been found, or the train delayed by a day or two. (It had been scheduled for the previous Wednesday.) Although it seems unfair, the driver of the Troop Train might have been running at excessive speed with such poor carriages. One of the survivors was conscious of a surge and a banging of buffers as the train descended Beattock Bank. (The train had left Larbert late, so presumably the driver was trying to make up lost time, the more so as he was a Carlisle man.) Both he and his fireman were killed in the crash, probably instantly. The London and North Western Railway was also partly responsible. Both overnight Scottish expresses had left Euston half an hour late, and remained so. They were scheduled to leave Carlisle at 05.50 and 06.05; the local should have followed at 06.15, but could not be held back, as it had to make connections further on. If the trains from London had been on time, the local would have been held back until.they had passed. (Incidentally, the first of the two passed through Quintinshill without incident; it was the second one which was involved in the collision.) The only defence for Meakin and Tinsley was that there were no scheduled trains on the up main line at the time the Troop Train approached.

Lovely and sad.

I heard about them, and listened, in san Francisco in Fall 1968. There were a lot of extraordinary bands around; lots of competition for earspace. But the Incredibles stood out as genuinely different - puzzlingly so. They fit no genre - exactly. Songs of innocence? Of experience? Childhood memories? All and more. They happened in a very musically tolerant time; I doubt they'd be possible now. Bu a wonderful legacy, and (for those of us still around to remember!) a 'sign of their times.' Do I still listen? Of course!

Fantastic short film of York City FC 's ground - Bootham Crescent - how many more will succumb to the weeds?

Well done overview. Became a fan in high school in the late 60s. A fan to this day.

I was listening to a radio program called Peel's Pleasures in July 17th 1982 hosted by John Peel. He played a song by the ISB called "The Half Remarkable Question" and I decided to buy the album straight away. One of the best decisions I have made in my life.

Well, bullsnitch me in the prangak.

One of my ancestors through my dads mother who was a Selkirk Fisher. Lived in Northumberland

Some of the most evocative and melodic music of their era, and beyond..Beyond being the operative word.

si.! muchas gracias Escocia, por este honorable hombre.. que nos dio la pasión por el futbol. saludos desde Argentina

This was beautifully done. It'd such a shame that so many years have passed and Mr.Robeson is still a hidden figure of American history

Good effort. Not long ago, I started to try to explain The Incredibles to a young person. In the end, I just said, "Well, you had to be there".

I loved them back in the days.Once saw them in copenhagen beautifull consert.

Very interesting indeed 👍

This is wonderful, thank you. Any fellow americans in here? You know how I heard about The Incredible String Band? From listening to The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band on spotify and just letting their albums play out. I don't like to talk up huge companies like spotify, but their recommendations have been excellent. Steeleye Span and TISB are among the best that have been recommended via spotify that I was unaware of until a few years ago. It's strange because the avant garde is what I have sought out for 30 years, but I had never heard of The Bonzos either until...you really want to know?...Mike Williams and 'The Memoirs of Billy Shears'. I fell in love with the Bonzos though. It was 'The Hedgehog Song' that first piqued my interest from TISB. And my God, Painting Box is superior to Pink Floyd's 'Paint Box' by leaps and bounds. Yeah, and the Woodstock thing. I suppose I must have seen their name in print over the years, but I had no idea who they were or what they were about. I'm very grateful that changed. Happy Thanksgiving!

I worked in The Hoover for 4.5 years. I learned more there as an apprentice than I did working for Rolls-Royce for 11 years.

Shades of Peter Ackroyd when the riot kicks off.

I will never forget the moment in the early 80s when this then slightly depressed and harassed teenager put on Wee Tam and the world changed.

always love em

The Lilac Time is another group tipping their hat to ISB.

Be glad for the song goes on forever. Wonderful times never to be forgotten. All love to all

Before Robeson visited Scotland or even did the film proud Valley, he was a frequent visitor to Wales since as far back as the late 20s ,he actually said that is where he found his political voice, he visited Wales because he was actually In London to perform in a show and one day when he was outside he saw a group of Welsh miners who were marching from Wales to London to protest about the fact that they had been blacklisted from the pits , for threatening to strike so now they were protesting ,and when Paul heard the Hymns that they were singing , he joined in the march and sang with them and then sang for them, and gave them all train fare home, that's why afterwards he wanted to come to Wales and he did, then after he was a frequent visitor to Wales to perform, plus a cash donater to their relief funds and supporter of them in general, and subsequently toured the rest of Britain to meet the other miners because he was such a sympathiser of their causes as well , as he saw the same stuff in a lot of different areas he visited ,like Scotland

Grande Escocia!

This problem was in addition to cheap imports from the EEC

The electrical cable was the only thing we bought in. Everything else we manufactured. Plastic mouldings, electrical motors. What a company.

What a fantastic little documentary, Daniel! Short and concise. Full of feeling and purpose. You’re a sensitive fella, young man, keep moving forward that way. The edit was good. Background audio was cleverly synchronised with picture and film. Love the horse hooves and toll of a bell. Above all you concluded where it mattered. These lives could have had much opportunity to offer the future. You passionately mean that. Keep moving forward. You’re doing magnificently.

Robert Owen is one of the most remarkable people (anywhere in the world) for the last few centuries. Also one of the least well known. Through serendipity, I have had the good fortune to stand in New Lanark. though I then knew nothing of Robert Owen at that time. He was far more advanced in his thinking about human rights in general, than people like Wilberforce, who are widely held in high esteem. Hats off to you, sir.

I love the stage of all their albums with their core members with Robin, Mike, Lic and Rose (1967-1972). Lic, we miss you! P.S. Classic rock had these things, everything was really fantastic and very clever.

My family were workers at New Lanark. My great, great Grandfather used his education to get out of the mill and go work on the railroads in China, then help his children come to America.

Great film. Use in my World History classes.
