Between 1869 and 1970, around 100,000 British children were sent overseas without their parents by leading British churches and charities to help support Britain's imperial aspirations in Canada, Australia and Africa. This collection of songs from some of the leading lights of the British folk scene highlight the plight of these youngsters who often endured hard labour and inadequite living conditions far removed from that which was promised, far away from their friends and family. Deluxe CD Boxset with extended and detailed booklet. Featuring amongst other Jez Lowe, Chris While, Julie Matthews, Boo Hewerdine and O'Hooley & Tidow.
