The Ewan MacColl wing of the Working Class Movement Library website is now open and can be entered at www.wcml.org.uk/em/timeline.html.
Ewan MacColl will be known to most people as a songwriter, and as a singer, but he was also of significant influence in the worlds of theatre and radio broadcasting. He was a committed socialist all his life and his political sensibilities underpinned all his creative activities.
