3rd Diggers' Fest confirmed for 7th September in The Wiend area.
http://wigandiggersfestival.org/

Confirmed yesterday, with Wigan's Town Centre Manager, the gardens 
adjacent to The Wiend, containing the 'Face of Wigan' statue, and the 
forecourt of the new Wigan Life Centre (shown on left), unofficially 
renamed by us "Gerrard Winstanley Place", will again be the site of 
this year's 3rd WIGAN DIGGERS' FESTIVAL which will take place on 
Saturday 7th September.

The planning of this year's event is still in its early stages but 
PLEASE PUT THIS DATE IN YOUR DIARY NOW! See map below for exact 
location in Wigan town centre.


The FREE Annual Open Air Festival celebrates, via the medium of 
poetry, music and song, film and a range of other activities, the 
life and ideas of Wigan born and bred Gerrard Winstanley (1609-1676) 
and the 17th Century 'Diggers' movement he became the inspirational 
theorist and spokesperson of.

Also known as the 'True Levellers', the Diggers were one of the first 
truly egalitarian political movements of the poor and propertyless 
anywhere in the World, and the first to argue for full equality of 
men and women. Winstanley and they famously asserted: "The World was 
made a common treasury for all!"


Last year's festival was a resounding success, with some of the best 
weather of the year helping to swell the crowd to around 2000 over 
the course of the day.

Attila The Stockbroker was top of a bill of 24 separate acts 
including two Socialist choirs, three top radical poets, three local 
bands, two duos and two professional actors.

We are hopeful Attila and actor John Graham Davies, who played the 
part of Gerrard Winstanley, in a symbolic re-enactment of the digging 
and sowing (which gave the Digger's their nickname) at St, George's 
Hill near Weybridge in Surrey in 1649 (seen above), will perform once 
again at this year's festival, along with some of the most popular 
acts from last year's event, and some new and more well known ones as well.

Last year's Festival also included a film showing, exhibition, audio 
visual presentation, and a beer tent for which we commissioned our 
own Wigan brewed 'Gerrard Winstanley' and 'Diggers 1649' ales, both 
of which proved very popular and we are  hopeful will be available 
again this year.

MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW.

year's event on our Festival Photos page:

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which 
alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
