Moirai - Framed - The Alice Wheeldon Story

A new collection of songs written and performed by Moirai - who are Jo Freya, Sarah Matthews and Mel Biggs. The songs are about a plot to murder David Lloyd George in 1917. Alice Wheeldon and her daughter Winnie Mason & son-in-law Alf Mason, were imprisoned for conspiracy to murder. Alice and her family were strong socialists, great opponents of the war and supporters of Conscientious Objectors. Their stance was considered not to be in support of the war effort and the conviction was brought at a big show trial surrounded by massive publicity. They had been set-up by two undercover agents working for MI5. The family argued that the murder plan was fabricated. A fantasy a story so strange that it seems hardly to relate to the world of reality.A fascinating story and a fantastic collection of songs.
