Biografia:
Ewan MacColl (born James Henry Miller in Salford, Lancashire, on 25 January 1915; died 22 October 1989) is recognised as the father of the British folk revival. The writer of classics such as "Dirty Old Town" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (which won him a Grammy in 1972), MacColl partnered Peggy Seeger and was father to musicians Kirsty MacColl, Neill MacColl and Calum MacColl, and grandfather to Bombay Bicycle Club's Jamie MacColl.
Innovative and inspiring, both collecting traditional songs, as well as writing new ones.

[numbers indicate fingerings on a standard GCEA-tuned ukulele]
A* D*
Every second of every minute, every hour of every day
A*
The babblers work at building Babel; listen to what they say
Dm
Reading the news and feeding their views to the minds of a captive nation
G A*
Blending fact and fantasy: the official interpretation
A* D*
Every night in a billion rooms a billion minds are fed
A*
On a diet of pre-digested pap prepared by talking heads
Dm
Opinion-makers, phonies and fakers, talking to earn their pay
G A*
Gazing out of their plastic world and talking our lives away
A* D*
Every time that a working man or woman demand their rights
A*
The talking machine works overtime to prove that black is white
Dm
Strikers are traitors, paid agitators; miners are surly brutes
G A*
But don't let the viewers see the coppers teaching 'em with their boots
A* D*
Every day the smooth-faced pundits forecast on the box
A*
The miners' strike was lost they said and Scargill on the rocks
Dm
Lies, defamation, misinformation, that was the testing time
G A*
He kept faith with the men who elected him - and that is a major crime
A* D*
Every time there's a striking Pole, the lads at the BBC
A*
And the Thatcher mob weep crocodile tears: "Hurrah for Democracy"
Dm
The Sun and the Mail both joyfully hail the Poles' solidarity
G A*
Let British workers go on strike, they sing in a different key
Dm G A*
For solidarity's good for Poles - but not for you and me
