Alistair Hulett

Roaring Jack's songs were about working class Sydney, union struggles and the lives of the young unemployed.  Their second album was nominated for an Australian Music Industry Association (ARIA) award.

Returning to the UK, Alistair began recording acoustic folk influenced material, drawing on history and his own experiences. "Dance of the Underclass" was hailed as a folk classic, and his song "He Fades Away" (about asbestosis in the Australian mining community of Wittenoom) was recorded by June Tabor amongst others.

Since the mid-nineties, Alistair has recorded a number of solo albums, the most well-known of which is "Red Clydeside", a concept album that tells the stories of the brave working class of Glasgow and their rent strikes and imprisonment during the First World War. He has subsequently worked with Dave Swarbrick of Fairport Convention and has also written a ninety minute piece "From Blackheath To Trafalgar Square" looking at "insurrection and resistance in the Disunited Kingdom" from the Peasants' Revolt to the Poll Tax Riots.
