The Song of the Staffordshire Men is a modern English folk song popularised by the musician Jon Raven in the 1970s. It celebrates the rich history of Staffordshire, particularly its importance to the Industrial Revolution.
This is one of a number of modern folk songs. While not strictly 'folk', these songs celebrate England's rich folk-musical history through recreation and composition.
