Amazing night at the Lillian Bilocca restaurant in #Hull for a performance of “Lil” by Val Holmes. Gave me goosebumps to hear about the #headscarfrevolutionaries and the harrowing loss of life of trawlermen that spurred them to take action. 10/10. (Canapés were also top notch.)

Delightful evening of folk music and working-class politics learning all about four women - Yvonne Blenkinsop, Lillian Bilocca, Mary Denness & Christine Jensen - who stood up for their trawler-men husbands, sons, & brothers following Hull’s triple trawler tragedy.

“All these industries, whether its shipbuildin, engineerin or what av yer, its all to do wi fish, somebody as to go out there a catch it aven’t they? If a man isn’t goin to go to sea on a trawler, there would be no Fishin Industry would there?” Ted Rutter - Bobber.

The Times described #LillianBilocca as “A woman who means what she says, the epitome of a fishing port wife, whom strong men confront at their peril”. #HeadscarfRevolutionaries

True working class hero.

Following the triple trawler disaster, the #HeadscarfRevolutionaries presented their fishermen’s charter outlining their list of demands. One was to have a mother ship in Icelandic waters. The Orsino was one of those first ships which sailed from #Hull on Friday 29 November 1968.

Wishing a very happy birthday to my friend and great advocate Emma Hardy MP. Have a smashing day. #HeadscarfRevolutionaries

It was a pleasure to visit the The Matchgirls Memorial exhibition in Parliament this week. Just like Hull's Ian Cuthbert revolutionaries, these women changed the course of history.

We’re restoring five of Hull’s key maritime heritage assets! Placing 800 years of seafaring history at the heart of the city’s visitor offer.

Thank you so much Ruth Creasey for the invite to the Stand summer service to the lost trawlermen. It was a beautiful service and the City of Hull Band were great as always.

Their words inspired, thoughts provoked and through action they reached their potential, impacted the world and left a legacy. The #HeadscarfRevolutionaries will never be forgotten.
