Mussorgsky Great Gate of Kiev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8gs4TozJbQ
Mendelssohn : The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave) - Overture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3MiETaBSnc Memorably heard on the tannoy of Calmac's Columba wallowing in the swell off Fingal's Cave on a round Mull cruise in 1984.

Der heimliche Aufmarsch Hans Eisler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S0I0J_fXLo
Bella Ciao politically I am for equality of opportunity which does not mean we are all similar, I believe in diverse lives, but not a diversity which cloaks bullying as culture. Fascism, Nazism, Islamisation, they are the same, evil. My choice for Bella Ciao is an Italian priest singing it in Church. What memories he had? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePP9AHrncjQ
The Socialist ABC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkJwKwk-L2c
Land of the Pennine God by Mike Donald on his North by North East Album, a Settle Carlisle piece and darned difficult to find online. I have the LP.
Spanish Ladies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0P-fD_aaLk Sarah Blasko (into the world of sea shanties, the song of the waters)
Both sides of the Tweed Hogg http://sangstories.webs.com/bothsidesthetweed.htm and sung at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pkCiSQjkDo
The Yew Tree Battlefield Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uri_RpWzq8
Jock o Hazeldean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzCHRx_ztCM in some measure because this is a short cut into debating the Border Ballads and Tynedale. Another Auden case of missed locations.
"Wha'll be King but Cherlie?" Silly Wizzard version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTPyvKrU1DM&list=RDYtnPquqI3Bk&index=4 I can enjoy very much music from Irish republicans and Jacobites. I can understand how it works but don't assume I agree. I know which side I would have been on in the 1715, and 1745. And I know which way my vote, if I had one, would have gone in 1706. I am a British Unionist.

Dark Iniseoghain Deanta (more or less anything from them) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK7TG9Fpsi4
The Old Ways Loreena McKennitt (most of what she does although I do hold it against it her that she has never played in the Anglo-Scottish Borders). Note this song refers to Clare, a mix that is sacred to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SG6ZITbWpU&list=PLR6d4wNl92S7l-QLaSytp87kYOT2AfVKi
Dante's Prayer by Loreena has to be listed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDw3CyOmj20

Hot asphalt a Joe Plunkett song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjVwi-kxLFI this one is done by the Dubliners
Johnny Jump Up Gaelic Storm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u56R_qHTLVI
The Shoals of Herring Ewan MacColl version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ov81aogaxg which directly links Great Yarmouth and Shields and thereby the two rivers so much of life has revolved around. I will always attend to songs of the sea. Also Come all you gallant fishermen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg5odIT-bew "Norfolk Boys and Lads from Peterheid, Buckie Chiels and Men from Shields". These were Britons.

Poetry
In praise of limestone Auden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSEABp9kyds (the version with the dildo!)
There is an amount of Auden out there to listen to but not Amor Loci or New Year Letter though bits are in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04k9mzl which is thoroughly Pennine biased.
The Grand Inquistor, Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gielgud's monologue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om6HcUUa8DI
