Chants For Socialists
''Chants for Socialists'' is the eleventh solo studio album by English singer/songwriter Darren Hayman. It was released by WIAIWYA (Where It's At is Where You Are) Records on 2 February 2015. Background ''Chants for Socialists'' is an album based on the 19th century protest poetry of "Victorian polymath" William Morris. Hayman found a copy of Morris' ''Chants For Socialists'' pamphlet in the William Morris Gallery and decided to set it to music, stating to ''The Quietus'': "I loved how immediate and divisive it seemed. And I liked the idea of seeing it in a record shop. It seemed to set an agenda. And it reminded me of that time when I started buying records." The album was recorded in situ at three of Morris' houses, the William Morris Gallery, Kelmscott House and Kelmscott Manor; Hayman playing Morris' piano on "The March of the Workers". Most of the songs on the album feature a choir recruited from Hayman's local fanbase, whether they were musical or not, in order to give the ...

Icelanders established the country of Iceland in mid 930 AD when the Althing (Parliament) met for the first time.
