Sgt Casson, father of @CassSONGS, began his journey towards liberation in early 1945. 2 years earlier in his scrapbook he wrote 'Pre-war, Peace passed by as by a stranger - she was a stranger. Afterwards she may not be so difficult to recognise and not be so slowly appreciated.'
We launched #SongsofthePeople for #ECHR75 in Liverpool. Here David Maxwell Fyfe met and married local girl Sylvia Harrison at St Agnes & St Pancras Church where we sang.

Over the holiday season, in the 75th year of #ECHR, we are spelling out a key article each day to celebrate its protection of our rights & freedoms.
Today we spell out Article 5 Right to Liberty & Security - no one shall be deprived of their liberty in law. #ECHR75
Our first stop is @SalisburyCath whose Chapter House is home to the best preserved of four original 1215 editions of Magna Carta #ECHR75#songsofthepeople
@LilyCasson@rtsblackmore We're starting the year with a journey to the spring of our story, performing a medley of songs at each stop along the way. Follow us on X, Instagram and YouTube @SongsotPeople for regular updates along our trail.
At the start of the 75th anniversary year of the signing of ECHR, we are launching #songsofthepeople. The story of its British 'artisan' David Maxwell Fyfe is our inspiration. He often quoted Fletcher of Saltoun.

"Inspirational... I think we all learnt a lot" We were welcomed to St Agnes and St Pancras by its Parish Priest, Father Andrew Brown who invited members of his congregation to join us for our performance. #songsofthepeople#ECHR75
Leading to our launch, we’re exploring the #Forgotten values of #ECHR & re-awakening them in song. In #DreamsofPeaceandFreedom David copied this poem into a letter home as he looked to a future beyond #NurembergTrials.

When EP played Norma D in London in the original production of #Sunsetboulevard, there was no greater ambassador - she sang and championed the role (and tickets) everywhere... #elainepaige 🐒🎥
We were in Liverpool - the next stop celebrating 12 Articles of Freedom just before #LabourConference24. At each staging post we spell out an #ECHR Article - a prologue to our year commemorating #ECHR75.
Over on @OfficialTHINT's Instagram, we have just shared our 75th reel.
As a prologue to #ECHR75 in 2025, @OfficialTHINT are spelling out its articles, challenging parliamentarians of all parties to protect our fundamental, universal & inalienable rights.
