The Peterloo Massacre took place at St Peter's Field, Manchester, Lancashire, England on Monday 16 August 1819 when cavalry charged into a crowd of 60,000–80,000 who had gathered to demand the reform of parliamentary representation.
Two hundred years later, I was invited to do a short set for Manchester Histories in tribute to these events where I read out two new poems 'Peterloo' and 'the day Nicolae Ceaușescu died'
