Freedom from The Songs by Will Godfrey

This is probably more relevant than when it was written in 2008.


The November 5 1604 gunpowder plot, was allegedly fuelled by discontent over Protestant control of England, and suppression of Catholics.

November 26 1940 marks the start of a particularly nasty attack on the Jews, in the name of keeping the German race 'pure'.

November 4 1956 was when Soviet troops moved into Hungary to crush the country's attempt to break free of Russia.

November 20 1980 was when Jiang Qing (one of the earlier revolutionaries) went on trial for treason in China. Later, the authorities claimed she committed suicide.

Control by the ruling minorty today is probably tighter and more dangerous than at any time in recorded history. As usual, religious ignorance, and terrorist fears are being used as a smokescreen to support power grabs.

Will Godfrey has been involved in music in one form or another since childhood, starting with early piano lessons and progressing through accordion, guitar, harmonica and tin whistle. Eventually, combining his electronics background he moved on to synthesizers and currently soft-synths.
