#OtD 1 May 1886, 300,000-500,000 workers went on strike and rallies were held throughout the United States, with the cry, "Eight-hour day with no cut in pay." This strike would lead to the Chicago Haymarket Affair and the start of May Day itself https://t.co/Dk2lyMkhAc

[Billy Bragg @billybragg]

40 years ago today I carried my trusty Arbiter guitar and Cube 60 amp into the demo studio in the offices of Chappell Music near Marble Arch and over three intense days recorded my debut album Life's A Riot. Lots of 40th anniversary fun planned over the next 12 months. Stay tuned
