Alistair Hulett The Red Clydesiders

Alistair Hulett at The Fraser Centre Milgavie, Scotland performing The Red Clydesiders from his 2001 song cycle Red Clydeside. The original album was recorded with Dave Swarbrick on fiddle and is available by mail order from Alistair's website on www.alistairhulett.com Red Clydeside was the name given to a workers' revolt in Glasgow during WW1 that eventually resulted in a military invasion of the city by troops dispatched from England in January 1919. John Maclean led the revolt and was jailed several times by the authorities. For more information google 'Red Clydeside'.

God bless someone who did not believe He existed? I don't think He will.

Nevr been able to be an activist, but lean towards the left and love the stories of John McLean and others.

Loved the man Alistair Hulett, his music and faith. God bless his memory. He joins the many socialist fighters from the past.

Listening to this with tears in my eyes....Alistair died last night. I have the Red Clydsiders CD, will listen to it in memory of Alistair.

Great dedication to the never forgotten Red Clydesiders. And a great performance! Have a listen to a song ive penned, my dedication to Jimmy Magee. No not a Red Clydesider, but a figment of my own imagination where he was one (he was probably in George Square on the big day). Cheers
