Sing - BiographySing was a music magazine founded by Eric Winter and John Hasted. It set out to be a magazine to represent the working class and to make available music and songs and information about new records. It had close ties to the Workers Music Association and Topic Records. However it also had close links with Sing Out in the USA and Singabout in Australia. There were links to CND and political ideas such as the vote against the death penalty. In short it was a Socialist or Communist music magazine with many left-wing writers such as Fred Dallas (later Karl Dallas), Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd as well as Stan Kelly, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. These were the early days. Later on in the mid-1960s it became more of a commercial magazine interested in the changing folk scene and its new stars such as The McPeakes, David Campbell, Matt McGinn, Hedy West, Julie Felix and Bert Jansch. « Back to Bibliography Edit This Biography : Biography Credits
