Celebrating 22 years of Original Pirate Material
Factory Occupation by Gerd Arntz, 1931.
"It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall he worth doing, & be of itself pleasant to do; & which should he done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious."
"It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall he worth doing, & be of itself pleasant to do; & which should he done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious."
"Ah, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, moulded by it."
We had the honour of showing Chris Jones @jonesch56591 around our 'So We Marched' exhibition last week. As the official March paramedic, the trainee nurse was a key member of the Green Army. In his interview, he reflected on how his fellow Marchers ignored his medical advice 🤣
When creating the Tony Boyle illustration, we consulted with his widow Christine. It was vital that she was happy with illustrator @peterotooleart's interpretation of the Kirkby legend. Here is the artwork and a photo of Christine next to the banner that inspired the design ✊️

Best-ever season? Wba have won the title, won the FA Cup several times, played in European competitions, and they come out with this? This is what happens when people new to football talk about football.
It was an honour to show Kirby icons Alan and Dave Kelly around our exhibition. Alongside the legendary Tony Boyle, the two bros played a key role in establishing the Kirkby Unemployed Centre; which was formed in the wake of the March. We explore the KUC in our 'Legacy' board.
One doesn't like to blow one's own trumpet, but ...
Another Marcher has sadly left us. Brothers Ray & Gary joined the Green Army together & continued to participate in activism long after the March had ended. In honour of Ray, here's a quote from Gary fondly reminiscing about their experience in 81. You'll Never Walk Alone ✊️

Moments like these are why I work as a community historian. The excitement of knowing that both Pete and Sully were finally going to meet after 4 decades was almost too much to bare 🙃

As part of our launch, attendees saw the premiere of our exhibition film, which uses found footage, oral testimonies and archival images unearthed by our volunteers during their research. Here's the short for your viewing pleasure: vimeo.com/913634001
@SylRog97 @GizaJob81 @GreigDr Very moving as one of the Marchers and great to meet you all. Thanks so much Greig for this project.
The story of the marchers is being brought to life in a fascinating new exhibition by @GreigDr and @GizaJob81 - which opens at Liverpool Central Library tomorrow
‘We were devoid of hope, so we marched’ In 1981, 500 jobless people set off on a four week March from Liverpool to London to protest against the policies of Margaret Thatcher’s government This is their story 👇 liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

A few more pics of the exhibits ... lots more to see. Also lots to hear from the oral history archive of the unemployed workers and political activists who were there.
And a wee pic of lovely Liverpool of an evening.
Just been to see @GizaJob81 - with a guided tour from @GreigDr - and it's well worth a visit; a detailed, honest, fascinating exhibition. Working class history should be done like this!
Catch the @GizaJob81 exhibition at @Lpoolcentlib until 31 May! Made possible by #NationalLottery players, it brings together the stories and objects from people involved in the 1981 People's March for Jobs. Read more about the project here: heritagefund.org.uk/projects/captu…

We had the honour of showing Chris Jones @jonesch56591 around our 'So We Marched' exhibition last week. As the official March paramedic, the trainee nurse was a key member of the Green Army. In his interview, he reflected on how his fellow Marchers ignored his medical advice 🤣
@DavefcKelly @GreigDr I believe so, it’s fantastic what they’ve done to resurrect
@KeithMullin @GreigDr It's excellent Keith
Great kit from Sainte Marie 1981 (Martinique)
Off to see this next week with @GreigDr going to be emotional
. @IanByrneMP and his family have been huge supporters of our project from the very start. Taking time out of their busy schedules to appear at our events. It's great to see a working-class MP engage with community heritage and people's history. Thanks Ian & family ✊️
When creating the Tony Boyle illustration, we consulted with his widow Christine. It was vital that she was happy with illustrator @peterotooleart's interpretation of the Kirkby legend. Here is the artwork and a photo of Christine next to the banner that inspired the design ✊️
@GizaJob81 @AlanRedKelly @VLCLiverpool @angiesliverpool @labour_history @StudyLabHistory @DavefcKelly @GreigDr @MerseyPensioner @Redvalerie17 @SFoodbanks Tony Boyle was a good friend together with Christine. I did my welfare rights training at KUC.
Best-ever season? Wba have won the title, won the FA Cup several times, played in European competitions, and they come out with this? This is what happens when people new to football talk about football.
It was an honour to show Kirby icons Alan and Dave Kelly around our exhibition. Alongside the legendary Tony Boyle, the two bros played a key role in establishing the Kirkby Unemployed Centre; which was formed in the wake of the March. We explore the KUC in our 'Legacy' board.
Another Marcher has sadly left us. Brothers Ray & Gary joined the Green Army together & continued to participate in activism long after the March had ended. In honour of Ray, here's a quote from Gary fondly reminiscing about their experience in 81. You'll Never Walk Alone ✊️
Sadly just lost my Brother in Law Ray a few hours ago after a short illness, aged 63 years, he was an incredible guy, loved by so many in his community, a Comrade to many, brother to @GaryRogersArt @GizaJob81 @peoplesmarch1981 ynwa 💔
1980s The Tudor Club aka Dutch Eddie's. Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool 8
Went to see the @GizaJob81 exhibition @Lpoolcentlib yesterday. The exhibition “tells the story of the 1981 People’s March for Jobs, a historic right-to-work protest spearheaded by unemployed people”. An important project exploring local, working class history. 🪧
